Halles de Schaerbeek - Hallen van Schaarbeek, Cultural center and former market hall in Schaerbeek, Belgium.

The Halles de Schaerbeek occupies the former St. Mary covered market at 22 rue Royale Sainte-Marie, a metal-framed hall of over 3,000 m² rebuilt in 1901 by architect Henry Van Massenhove with constructor Bertaux. Its three performance spaces are the Grande Halle (up to 2,000 standing), the Petite Halle and the Cave. The right wing still reads "Beurre et œufs".

A first covered market, built in 1865 by architect Gustave Hansotte, burned down in 1898; only its central facade and the spot of a missing clock remain. The current hall, over 3,000 m², was rebuilt in 1901 by architect Henri Van Massenhove with metal-structure specialist Bertaux. After the market closed around 1920, the building stood abandoned for fifty years, then was bought in 1973 by the COCOF and renovated from 1984 to 1997.

It serves as a gathering place for theater, circus, and dance performances that bring together diverse artistic expressions. The multiple performance spaces allow different art forms to happen simultaneously, drawing audiences from across the city.

The center is easily reached by public transportation and sits in an active neighborhood with nearby cafes and shops. Visitors should check ahead to see what events are scheduled to plan the best experience.

The right wing still carries the painted words "Beurre et œufs" (butter and eggs). Its outer wall was built against the earth bank linking rue Royale Sainte-Marie to the higher chaussée de Haecht, giving natural insulation suited to dairy sales. The fish market was kept apart in the small hall to limit smells.
