Grote Vleeshuis, Utrecht, Guild house and former meat hall in Utrecht, Netherlands

The substantial stone building features a top gable made of natural stone blocks positioned above cross windows at Jansveld 24a.

Constructed between 1637 and 1638 under architect Paulus Moreelse's direction, incorporating elements from an earlier 15th-century meat market structure.

The building represented the economic influence of Utrecht's butchers guild, which held exclusive rights to carry long knives through the city.

Located at the intersection of Voorstraat and Jansveld, the structure maintains its original facade while serving modern commercial purposes.

Members of the butchers guild operating from this location participated in the 1425 assassination of Utrecht's mayor Beernt Proys.
