Preserved pillory from 1779, erected by Baron van Gottignies. A bluestone column on a stepped pedestal stands amidst a cobbled flowerbed with four bluestone posts; restored in 1897, when the plaster Saint Lambert was replaced by an acorn-shaped crowning stone.

The pillory dates from 1779 when it was part of the legal system. Convicts of minor crimes, such as poaching a hare, were literally pilloried.
