      Here you are at the largest market in our country. The market extends from to it
      statue 'The Word' to the Church of Our Lady. The market was once given to us by the Countess of Flanders, Margaret of Constantinople, on the condition that it must remain undeveloped and undivided forever.
      With a surface area of 3.19 hectares, there is a lot of space for events here. Every Thursday morning 'before noon', the weekly market takes place here, and this since 1513! Then they said Thursdays.
      The market has become a meeting place.
      The Grote Markt of Sint-Niklaas is one of the few places in the world where hot air balloons are allowed to take off from the center of the city.
