Pakhuis, Historic warehouse building in Ghent, Belgium
Pakhuis is a red brick warehouse building in Ghent featuring large windows and decorative elements along its facade. The structure retains its original exterior while the interior has been redesigned for contemporary purposes.
The building was constructed in the 19th century as a warehouse during Ghent's textile manufacturing boom. Its design reflects the commercial prosperity of that era when the city was a major trade and production hub.
The building displays Flemish craftsmanship traditions in its exterior, visible today in the brickwork details and window frames. Visitors can see how local builders applied their skills to an industrial structure.
The building sits within walking distance of the city center and is easy to reach on foot. The exterior can be viewed at any time, but access to the interior depends on current uses and events.
The structure was built using cast iron columns and wooden beams, construction methods considered advanced for the time. These techniques allowed for open warehouse spaces without internal supports, ideal for storage operations.
