It is a historic building from 1603 on the Grote Markt in Haarlem.

Vleeshal means meat hall; it was the only place in Haarlem where fresh meat could be sold from 1604 until the 18th century. The ox heads on the front of the building indicate the hall's function. The building was used for the sale of fresh meat, salted meat was sold in the Warmoesstraat, the street next to the building.

The Vleeshal on the Grote Markt is a jewel designed by Lieven de Key.
Because the old meat market had become too small for the rapidly growing city, the city architect at the time was commissioned to design a new market hall.
De Key presented two designs to the city authorities and they chose the more expensive of the two.
This building was intended to express Haarlem's status and wealth.
This is where the official inspectors monitored the quality of the meat.
The Vleeshal was completed in 1604 and served as a meat market until the 19th century.
