Extreme points of countries used to have important roles as border points or navigational landmarks, but these days they serve primarily as an attraction. The geographical center of Belgium is a prima example of that giving life to an otherwise quiet Walloon town.
The midpoint, which was built in 1998, is a strange pyramid on top of a brick hill, with each of its aspects having a special meaning. The basement is a representation of the Earth’s crust, and the pylons represent the three regions of Belgium, which comes together into one whole by means of the triangle.
Next to the midpoint are three signs with the same information in the three main languages of the country; Dutch, French, and German.
