Great Butchers’ Hall

Historisch centrum/Graslei-site

[Vleeshuis ]

The Great Butchers'Hall dates back to the 15th century, when meat halls were indoor market places with centralised sales to monitor the freshness and quality of the meat.

The Great Butchers’ Hall has a remarkable and splendid open wooden truss roof. If you look up, the sight of Ghent’s special Ganda Hams hanging there will whet your appetite. You really should try some! And also the other specialities in this centre for the promotion of local East Flemish products.
