Maison du Sac, Protected heritage site at Grand Place, Brussels, Belgium

The Maison du Sac features a baroque facade with detailed sculptures by Laurent Merckaert and Peter Van Dievoet adorning its four-level structure.

Built in 1365 for the guild of cabinetmakers and coopers, the building underwent reconstruction in 1645 with architect Antoine Pastorana adding the gable in 1695.

The structure represents the guild system of medieval Brussels, displaying the craftsmanship and architectural techniques of different historical periods through its design.

Located at Grand Place 4, the building contains multiple floors with an arched slate roof and remains accessible for architectural study visits.

The facade combines restrained classical elements in its lower sections with elaborate baroque details in the upper levels and distinctive molded gable forms.
