Het Pand, Dominican monastery and university building in historic center, Belgium.

Het Pand extends along the Leie River with multiple auditoriums, meeting spaces, and exhibition areas across its medieval architecture complex.

The building began as a hospital in 1201, transformed into a Dominican monastery, and later housed Ghent's first theological university in the 16th century.

The convention center facilitates academic exchanges through conferences, exhibitions, and educational programs organized by the University of Ghent.

The venue provides 3,229 square feet of exhibit space with modern audiovisual equipment and catering services for various types of events.

During the 19th century, the building earned the nickname 'Flea Palace' when it functioned as a residence for students, artists, and travelers.
