Maison du Renard, Historical building at Grand Place, Belgium
The Maison du Renard features a white stone baroque facade with three levels, four bays, and ornate sculptures depicting various allegorical figures and decorative elements.
Built in 1699 after the 1695 bombardment of Brussels, this structure belonged to the mercers guild, who conducted trade activities from this location until the 18th century.
The building's facade displays detailed bas-reliefs created by Marc de Vos, illustrating merchant activities such as cloth measuring and glove selling from medieval times.
Located at number 7 Grand Place, the building stands between Maison du Cornet and Maison de la Tête d'Or, offering direct access to Brussels' central square.
The facade bears the inscription 'In den vos' and features a fox emblem by Julien Dillens, along with statues representing Justice and the four known continents.
