建物は、グラースレイにあるギルドハウス・デ・フライエ・シッパーズの美しいファサードに倣い、主にネオゴシック様式とネオ・ルネサンス様式の要素を取り入れた折衷様式で建てられています。尖塔を持つ八角形の塔があり、その中にはステルレンストラートとの角にある階段塔や、コレンマルクト側の階段塔のある入り口部分があります。さらに、高さ52メートルの時計塔も目を引きます。壁に描かれた伝書鳩は、建物の本来の機能を今に伝えています。これらの伝統的な要素にもかかわらず、現代的な素材や技術が使用されています。衛生面は特に重視されました。ガラスと鉄骨の構造は、カラフルな天然石の後ろに隠されています。ファサードは、合計100点以上の彫像、頭部、紋章で豊かに装飾されています。ファサードの装飾は国際的な性格を持ち、当時のベルギーとその植民地、五大陸、そして当時世界郵便連合を構成していたすべての国の元首が描かれています。

In 1909, the former post office stood at a busy intersection of access roads to the city. Postilions and the first horse-drawn trams stopped here. The lavishly decorated building, constructed in various architectural styles, has now been transformed into the shopping center "De Post" and the luxury hotel "1898 The Post." Note the beautiful, 52-meter-high tower clock. The interior is also magnificent. The historic building has been renovated but has retained its industrial character. You can visit it for fashion, interior design, and beauty products, and for a delicious lunch, brunch, or breakfast. The 1898 The Post hotel is located on the top floor of the building. Be sure to stop by the stylish cocktail bar, The Cobbler, for a drink with a view of the Sint-Michielsbrug and the Graslei.

The St. Michael's Bridge is a stone arch bridge in the center of the Belgian city of Ghent. The bridge spans the Leie River, on the south side of the Graslei and Korenlei. The current monumental bridge was built between 1905 and 1909, after the construction of the post office. Both the St. Michael's Bridge and the Old Post Office were designed by architect Louis Cloquet. Previously, there was a flat swing bridge. The bridge is part of Sint-Michielshelling Street. From the bridge, one has a view to the north of the Graslei and Korenlei, and in the distance, the Gravensteen Castle. To the east, the bridge offers a characteristic view of Ghent's three towers: St. Nicholas' Church, the Ghent Belfry, and St. Bavo's Cathedral. St. Michael's Church stands on the southwest side. The bridge was designated a protected monument in 1983.

Check the ferry schedule in advance: - During May, June, July, August, and September, and the Easter holidays: 7 days a week - from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM and from 1:00 PM to 7:00 PM (or until sunset on shorter days of the year). - From October to April (excluding the Easter holidays) only on Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays: same hours as above. The landing stage for one of these ferries is located along Dijkweg in Afsnee, near the St. John the Baptist Church on the right bank. A crossing is definitely worth the effort, as not only the Afsnee church but also the rectory and the village itself are protected gems. Further on, towards Sint-Denijs-Westrem and Sint-Martens-Latem, there are numerous hiking and cycling opportunities.
