The square, previously a busy car park, has now become a green park and, together with the city hall, has been used as an event space. For the Gentenaars it takes getting used to this contemporary building with tropical hardwood.

It's a big strange barnlike structure that seems to serve no purpose at first sight. Many Ghentians disliked it when first build, incluiding myself. That's why it was nicknamed "de schaapstal" (sheep barn) but I have to admit that it has grown on me. It's roof has shelterd many events and organizations from harsh weather or has brought shade on hot summer days. In august you will find a piano here to showcase your talent an during the winter festivities you can iceskate here while others enjoy some gluhwein at the side.
