A medieval hall from the early 15th century where you can find almost 200 East Flemish regional and how egg products and specialties. You can also consume them on site in the Promotion and Tasting Center for East Flemish Regional Products. The hams hang in the roof truss above your head. But there is much more. There are also group formulas for breakfast, lunch or upon reservation after 1800 hours for receptions or a walking buffet.
Meat was sold here from the 13th to the end of the 19th century, first in a wooden construction, later in a stone building. In that period, for reasons of hygiene and to centralize sales, meat could only be sold at designated places. This was the only place in Ghent. From 1884 this place was no longer just a meat hall and the meat could also be offered elsewhere. The building has undergone numerous refurbishments over the centuries, yet has retained an important part of its roof structure. The hall has already been given various functions: fruit and vegetable market, fishmonger, post office, storage space, multipurpose space and ... even temporarily as a parking lot.
