Description

The "Korenstapelhuis" or "Spijker" is a guildhall in #Gent (Oost-Vlaanderen), Belgium. Built in the late 12th century, it’s one of the oldest examples of romanesque civic architecture in the Low Countries, constructed from Tournai limestone. It served as a grain storage until 1734, then as a meeting space for grain unloaders.
