gable stones by Mique
Everywhere in Brielle you find gable stones. Sometimes they depict the craft of the owner of the house, sometimes it depicts something completely different. There are many very old ones everywhere in Brielle. But there are also very recent ones. I for one, like it very much. It adds to the charm of the town.
The gable stone in the picture depicts a classroom whit a teacher and his pupils. It used to be in the gate that gave entrance to the orphanage. Now it is embedded in the wall of the orphanage building (which is now an office space)
