The Great Butchers' Hall dates back to the 15th century, when meat halls were indoor market places with centralised sales to monitor the freshness and quality of the meat.
The building has a remarkable and splendid open wooden truss roof. If you look up, the sight of Ghent's special Ganda Hams hanging there will whet your appetite.
The impressive medieval and covered Great Butchers' hall houses the centre for the promotion of local East Flemish products.
The ideal base to discover the East Flanders' cuisine from appetizer to dessert.

The town directory of Bruges mentions Die Maene brewery at Walplein (wall square) as early as 1564. From 1856 onwards, when Leon Maes (also known as Henri I) acquired the building, we can begin to talk about the modern 'Brouwerij De Halve Maan' ('De Halve Maan Brewery') we know today.
The entire centre of Bruges has been awarded UNESCO World Heritage Site status, but due to the special day (Ascention) there is a Holy Procession (with blood of Christ relic) during the day and the centrum is accessible only for those who have special tickets.
More information about Brugge and about this special day can be found here: https://www.visitbruges.be/en
