Description

"De Zwaan" is a historic building on the Grand Place of #Brussels, named after its historical inn sign "The Swan" and dates back to the 14th century. Rebuilt in 1523 and again in 1698 after the French bombardment, it was later owned by the butchers' guild. The façade features statues symbolizing butchery, abundance, and agriculture.
