Oude vismijn, Market hall in Sint-Veerleplein, Ghent, Belgium
The Oude Vismijn stands at the intersection of two rivers, featuring a neo-Gothic structure with a Baroque portal and a statue of Neptune at its crown.
Originally established in 1689 as a fish market, the building underwent reconstruction after an 1872 fire and transformed into a modern venue in 2010.
The market hall represents the evolution of commerce in Ghent, with its architecture combining elements from different periods of Flemish building traditions.
The venue contains four event halls, including De Markt with 555 square meters of space, capable of hosting conferences for up to 850 participants.
The structure incorporates a floating pontoon on the river, offering visitors direct access to waterfront views of medieval Ghent and the Three Towers.
