	Geraardsbergen
		The City of Geraardsbergen came into existence thanks to its location, which was of strategically importance in the 11th century.
		By the end of the 11th century, the Count of Flanders, supported by the Lord of Boelare, succeeded into transferring the Abbey of Dikkelvenne to the City of Geraardsbergen.
		The huge popularity of Saint Adrian, one of the saints worshipped against the plague, contributed to the growth of the city.

	Hooghuys Story
		In 1869, he settled at Geraardsbergen (Grammont), and it is supposed that from that time onwards (and later with his eldest son Louis François), he went to work in the prosperous church organ works of Charles Anneessens at Geraardsbergen.
		Although he was a good craftsman concerning church organs (he learned a good deal from his father and he also worked for some time in the Anneessens firm at Geraardsbergen), he decided to switch to the building of mechanical barrel organs.
		Remarkable in any way is that a lot of people who started building music instruments in the region of Geraardsbergen, made their first steps in the Hooghuys factory.
