Vleeshal, Market hall in Grote Markt, Haarlem, Netherlands.

The Vleeshal features ornate sandstone blocks, ox and sheep head decorations, and three decorated peaks on its side gables at the central marketplace.

Architect Lieven de Key designed this Renaissance building between 1602 and 1603 to replace a deteriorated 14th-century meat market structure.

Since 1951, the former meat market has transformed into an exhibition space within the Frans Hals Museum, displaying contemporary and historical art collections.

Located at Grote Markt 18 in central Haarlem, the building contains stone vaults supported by columns and includes a spiral staircase to the upper floor.

The structure incorporates decorative obelisks on its steps and displays the city coat of arms at its highest point.
