Minardschouwburg, Theatre building at Walpoortstraat, Ghent, Belgium
Minardschouwburg is a theatre building in Ghent located at Walpoortstraat that combines two distinct spaces. The entrance hall features an oval bar and leads to the main performance space equipped with modern technical systems.
The building was constructed in the early nineteenth century and later underwent renovation. The traditional entrance hall was preserved during modernization while the main performance space was updated with new technology.
The theatre hosts a range of performances from drama to music and attracts both well-known and emerging artists. It plays an important role in Ghent's cultural scene as a venue where diverse audiences gather for entertainment.
The entrance is located at Walpoortstraat 15 and wheelchair access is limited in some areas. Row 5 offers the best view of the stage for most spectators.
The building creates two distinct architectural experiences, with the preserved historical entrance hall meeting a fully modernized performance space. This contrast shows how renovation can respect original structures while serving contemporary performance needs.
