Brussels Manneken Pis Belgium Statue Water
The Manneken Pis in Brussels depicts a small boy urinating into a fountain of water, has stood here since approximately 1618. The statue originally served as the means by which Bruxellois received water. The statue’s name, quite literally, means “peeing little man,” or “peeing boy.” Before this became his title, he was also known as Petit Julien, or ‘little Julien’.

Many legends have surrounded this tiny, surprising statue. The most famous being the little boy put out a fire with his tinkle, thus saving the city from being burnt down. A whimsical version of how the statue came to be involves a witch catching a boy peeing on her front door. Furious, she cursed him so he would pee for eternity. Luckily, a man who had seen everything quickly replaced the boy with a statue. In another version, the witch succeeded, not only cursing the lad with a forever full bladder but also turning him into stone.

Manneken Pis has been a public fountain, a mascot and the hero of many incredible tales. He has received gifts from lords and kings and has been abducted and saved several times. Since little is known about Manneken Pis, here’s a brief history of the little statue.
