Description
Gentse Strop owes its name to the proud Gentenaars, nicknamed “tie-bearers”. When the people of Ghent refused to pay extra taxes in 1540, the Emperor Charles allowed the notables of Ghent to go around with a noose around the neck, as a sign that they deserved the gallows. Until today, the noose is the symbol of fierce resistance to any form of tyranny and misguided authority. Gentse Strop is a tribute to everyone who holds pride in his soul.
