Standing Stone (Menhir) in Vlaams-Brabant
Found in 1972 near the 2nd c. AD "Tombe van Middelwinden" (Tomb, Tumulus of Middelwinden), between Neerwinden and Overwinden. Soon afterwards, it was brought to the centre of the village and erected on a lawn, later on a masonry. The stone, with its eye-catching trapezoidal silhouette, is a textbook example of regional menhirs. 50.76562, 5.03794
