It's safe to say that the Grand Place is considered one of the most beautiful squares in the world, not only because of the City Hall and the King's House, but also because of the set of richly decorated facades of the Guild Houses. Each of the ancient buildings has its own name and its own history. Photo 1 (before the Town Hall): - Den Coninck van Spaignien (Grand Place 1-2), owned by the bakers' guild. The building is decorated with an octagonal dome and engravings depicting the king of Spain; - Den Cruywagen (Grand Place 3), the guild of oil producers, now in a building with baroque elements there is a beer house "La Brouette"; - Den Sack (Grand Place 4), owned by the carpenters' guild.→
