The Golden Boat, Protected gildhouse in Pentagon, Belgium
The Maison de la Chaloupe d'Or features a baroque architectural design with a grand facade adorned with ornate decorations and sculptural elements.
Built in 1697 by architect Guillaume de Bruyn, this structure served as the meeting place for the tailors' guild following the bombardment of Brussels.
The building displays a statue of Saint Boniface at its summit, representing the patron saint of the tailors who gathered in this establishment.
Located at numbers 24-25 on Grand Place, the establishment now operates as a two-level brewery, welcoming visitors throughout the summer months.
The facade contains a chronogram with an elegiac distich written by neo-Latin poet Petrus Vander Borcht, marking its 1697 reconstruction date.
