Jeanneke Pis

Jeanneke Pis (pronounced [ˌʑɑnəkə ˈpɪs]; Dutch for 'Little Pissing Joan') is a modern fountain sculpture in central Brussels, Belgium.

Jeanneke Pis is located north of the Grand-Place/Grote Markt (Brussels' main square), on the eastern side of the Impasse de la Fidélité/Getrouwheidsgang, a narrow cul-de-sac some 30 metres (100 ft) long leading northwards off the restaurant-packed Rue des Bouchers/Beenhouwersstraat.

He also saw it as a metaphorical way of "restoring equality between men and women" by creating a feminine counterpart to the city's illustrious Manneken Pis sculpture.

The coins thrown by passers-by in the fountain of Jeanneke Pis bear witness to tenderness, virtue and admiration for the loved one with the wish to remain faithful to one another.In December 2021, the plaque was replaced with a new one, written from the perspective of the statue itself: Cheerful, pensive, cheeky and cynical...
