Just like in many other historical cities, many buildings on Haagdijk had names in the Middle Ages. Instead of numbers, these names were painted on the facades.

To make the names of the buildings visible again, Klaartje Scheer created stylised hanging signs for about 25 buildings referring to the old names. Eloi Koreman designed the various brackets. Most of them are hanging about 3 to 4 metres high, so make sure to look up as you walk around here.
