Dinant

Dinant is a town on the Meuse in the province of Namur, Belgium. In the Middle Ages it belonged to the Prince-Bishopric of Liège and was famous for its brass and copperware, known as dinanderie. It was sacked by the Burgundians in 1466, and in August 1914 German troops killed some 670 of its civilians.
