| 説明 | NivellesBuilt in the heart of the city between 1888 and 1891, the Nivelles Courthouse was designed by the architect V. Dumortier. The imposing building is composed of white stone and limestone buildings under gable roofs, perpendicular, connected by a wing also under gable roofs and flanked by a corner tower in square bricks where we note the use of limestone and white stone for the openings, decorative bands and corner chains.The prestigious façade which extends over nearly 60 m in front of Place Albert 1er combines, without overloading, neo-Gothic and neo-Flemish Renaissance elements in a balanced composition and owes its measure and presence to the lessons of neo-classicism. The contrast of colors offered by the materials gives its liveliness to the whole which is enhanced by statues by two sculptors highly appreciated in Brussels, J. Dillens and A. Desenfans.Variety and quality of materials, care in the execution and good taste are found inside the building, judiciously arranged, where the hall of lost steps, the grand staircase and the courtrooms have kept their appearance and their furniture. The work of stone, wood and iron is remarkable.________________________________________________"In the 7th century, the territory was part of the Austrasian Frankish kingdom, and the Mayor of the Palace, Pippin of Landen, rebuilt a villa there that covered more than 78 km². After Pippin's death in 640, the bishop of Maastricht, the future Saint Amand, urged Pippin's widow, Itta, to found an abbey in their villa. Itta's daughter, Gertrude, became the monastery's first abbess and was venerated as a saint upon her death. The growing influx of pilgrims necessitated the construction of ever-bigger churches, which culminated in the huge Romanesque structure that still stands today. The dedication of the church took place in 1046 in the presence of Wazo, Prince-Bishop of Liège, and Henry III, Holy Roman Emperor. This was the golden age of the Nivelles monastery, which now owned territories as far as Friesland, the Moselle and the Rhine.In the 13th century, the city that grew around the church became part of the Duchy of Brabant. The population was mainly artisans and guild members, who did not hesitate to fight the abbesses and the dukes to obtain their rights. These rights were finally granted by Joanna, Duchess of Brabant in the 14th century. In 1647, an important uprising by the thread manufacturers resulted in many of the city's entrepreneurs leaving for France, leading to the city's economic decline. The wars of the 17th century between France and the Spanish Netherlands made the situation worse as Nivelles went through successive sieges and military occupations. The Austrian and French regimes of the 18th century brought religious and administrative reforms to the city.In 1830, Nivelles was one of the first cities to send patriotic troops to Brussels to fight in the Belgian Revolution. The following years were marked by the growth of heavy industry, including metallurgy and railway construction. The bombing of the city during World War I brought some damage to buildings, but greater devastation occurred during World War II on 14 May 1940, when almost the entire city centre was destroyed, leaving only the walls of the collegiate church standing. The rebuilding of the church was completed in 1984, but remains can be seen of wall fragments on the south side of the collegiate."Wikipedia |
