After the abolition of the provost in 1560, the domain became the seat of the newly established diocese of Ypres (1559) with St. Martin's Church as its cathedral. The French Revolution and the abolition of the diocese in 1801 resulted in the course of the 19th century in the definitive opening up of this previously ecclesiastical area through new more "public" functions, see, among other things, the location of the city theater, the Court of First Instance, the city library and the "Public Court".

The original Monastery Gate dates from around 1500. It provided access to the domain of St. Martin's deanery, which was abolished in 1560 after the establishment of the diocese of Ypres. It was rebuilt in classicist style in 1780 and restored in 1938.

The original Kloosterpoort (Cloister Gate) dates from around 1500. It provided access to the domain of the St. Martin's Provostry, which was abolished in 1560 after the establishment of the Diocese of Ypres. It was rebuilt in the Classical style in 1780 and restored in 1938.
The city theatre was previously used as a drinking establishment for the Provostry. In 1803, the building changed ownership, and its function changed. From then on, concerts were organized there. The city theatre was destroyed during the First World War and rebuilt in the 1930s.
