Visbanken, Renaissance fish market structure in Gouda, Netherlands.
The Visbanken features two covered galleries with natural stone Doric columns and gabled roofs positioned along both sides of the Gouwe canal.
Built in 1588, the Visbanken served as the central location for fish trading, with separate galleries designated for local merchants and traders from outside Gouda.
The structure reflects Dutch maritime commerce traditions through its design, which includes specific areas for cleaning and selling fish along the water.
Located at the intersection of Hoge Gouwe and Lage Gouwe streets, the Visbanken remains accessible throughout the day for visitors exploring Gouda's center.
The building walls support various species of ferns and flowers, including Yellow Helmet Flower and Kidney Fern, growing naturally along the quay walls.
