Theux - Town hall and Place du Perron

Description

The town hall was built in 1770 by Barthélemy Digneffe in the Louis XVI style. It houses paintings from the late 18th century depicting Justice and Prosperity. It is open from Monday to Saturday mornings.
Opposite it, you won't want to miss the Perron, a symbol of communal freedoms, with its base of four octagonal steps and curious logettes (the place for the stone lion cubs, the emblem of Franchimont) at the base of the column, itself surmounted by a pine cone. The cross represents religious authority, the column, a stone of justice, symbolises civil power, and the pine cone evokes fertility and prosperity. The Perron is the symbol of the franchises acquired by the people of Theut in 1457 in Liège. The current Perron (the third) was erected in 1768 and restored in 1998. The first was demolished in 1468 by Charles the Bold, the second by bad weather.
