THORN the picturesque little white town by the river Maas in the south of the Netherlands known for its whitewashed 18th century brick houses and cobbled streets surrounding the towering Gothic church in the historical town centre, which form a protected view with its typical character and atmosphere. Thorn is also known for the fierce competition between internationally renowned brass bands Saint Michael and the Royal Dutch wind orchestra of Thorn that effectively divide the village in two rivalling groups mockingly called the goats and the bucks respectively
