Nieuwerck, Renaissance building in Ypres, Belgium
The Nieuwerck forms the eastern extension of the Lakenhallen on the Grote Markt, featuring large cross windows and classical church elements on pointed arches.
Built in 1620 and completed in 1622, the structure served as a magistrate's house until 1794, following an initial construction that required immediate demolition due to stability issues.
The building displays the coat of arms of Spanish King Philip IV above its chapel window and contains statues representing justice and prudence in its niches.
The structure houses the entrance to the Yper Museum, which presents exhibitions about eleven centuries of urban history through artifacts and displays.
During the reconstruction in the 1950s, metal anchors and bars were installed between columns to protect the building from vehicle vibration damage.
