Vleeshuis

The Vleeshuis is Antwerp's old butchers' guild hall, a late-Gothic building whose red brick and pale stone bands look almost like stacked bacon. It now houses a museum focused on music and local craft, with historic instruments including harpsichords linked to the Ruckers family.

It is an easy stop near the old harbour and Grote Markt, best for travelers who like architecture, guild history, or small specialist museums.
