Description

The "Cooremetershuys", a 13th-century medieval building in #Gent (Oost-Vlaanderen), is constructed from brick and Tournai limestone. First mentioned in 1374, it was owned by the Pijnders in 1450 and later by the Korenmeters guild in the 17th century, who used it as their second guildhall near Gent's medieval harbor. The building's trapezoidal layout, 12m wide, features a preserved wooden ceiling and a ground floor divided by columns into a central and side aisles.
