Van Horne in graffiti

2018 was the 'Van Horne' year for Weert. It was then 450 years ago that Count Philips van Horne played a leading role in the history of Weert. Just like Lamoraal van Egmond and Willem van Oranje.

Philips van Horne was a nobleman from Weert who was beheaded in 1568 on the Grote Markt in Brussels for high treason and lese-majesty.
