Blinde-Ezelstraat

The Blinde Ezelstraat is a narrow, covered passageway squeezed between the city hall and the old civil registry office. Its name translates to Blind Donkey Street, a moniker likely born from a local legend about a donkey that wandered the area while blindfolded. In the middle ages, this dark, arched stone corridor served as a functional shortcut for officials moving between the seat of government and the justice buildings. Merchants and citizens once crowded these shadows to avoid the mud of the marketplace.
