De Voetboogstraat… What a place. It all started in 16th-century. Fun times I’m telling you. Just look behind the corner, you’ll see Civic Guards marching to de Voetboogdoelen to unload their crossbows with passion, at the shooting range…

People, gathering around de Rasphuis to see new prisoners arriving for their back-breaking labor. In de Rasphuis, the effort was made to instill a sense of order and duty into the young men.

How ‘jolly’… As the time past, peace came along… but only for a short while. As the street was known for its senseless violence up until the end of the 20th-century.
