On the court in front of the railway station (
visit link) in Dillenburg you can find this fountain which is a monument to the partnership between the four towns Breda (Netherlands), Diest (Belgium), Dillenburg (Germany) and Orange (France). These four towns are linked historically through the "House of Orange-Nassau" (
visit link) A union between them was formed 50 years ago, on the 31st of August 1963.
There are four plaques showing the coats of arms of the four "Oranierstädte": Breda, Diest, Dillenburg and Orange. The water splashes from these four sides and also from the middle of the fountain. On a hot summer day, this fountain is an attraction for the kids!
