Motto : E SALICE ROBUR / IK TEL ALLEEN DE ZONNIGE UREN
Remark :
You will find the Oude Kuil Castle not far from the way from Neeroeteren to Kinrooi. A region where in the past the willows were numerous and used for basket-making. The motto comes from there Uit de kracht van wilgenhout' From the strength of the willow'.
Pieter Boudens is a famous engraver from Brugge.
To be noticed: the time lines for 6 and 18h. These lines are, theoretically, always aligned with each other on a vertical sundial, whatever direction the wall is facing. The 6h line is not to be painted here as it will never see the sun.
