Amersfoort Kei
Location
He donated the kei to the city and did so in a playful way that was not appreciated for a long time.

Jonkheer Everhard Meyster discovered a 7,157-kilo boulder on Leusderheide and bet friends that he could round up enough people to drag the rock within the city walls. Under great enthusiasm and with the help of lots of beer and fresh pretzels, 400 Amersfoorters finished the whole job. Because it was actually all a big joke by the squire, the city subsequently laughed and mocked at it. Out of embarrassment, the 'keitrekkers' buried the Amersfoort boulder on the Varkensmarkt and did not dig it up again until 1903. Once the city got over the embarrassment, the boulder was displayed as their symbol of pride.
