Abstract: The central set of a domain $ D$ is the set of centers of maximal discs in $ D$. Fremlin proved that the central set of a planar domain has zero area and asked whether it can have Hausdorff dimension strictly larger than $ 1$. We construct a planar domain with central set of Hausdorff dimension $ 2$.
