Museum Butchers’ Hall

Behind the scenes of the Butchers’ Hall: on the way to a new music museum

A must-see in the heart of the city

In the heart of Antwerp you will find the monumental Butchers’ Hall. It is the oldest intact civic building in Antwerp. Its construction took just three years. That was in the very beginning of the 16th century, Antwerp’s Golden Age.

The Butchers’ Hall was the sales hall for fresh meat products. The butchers’ guild built it, not to slaughter animals, but to cut, process and sell meat. It was also a guild house: until after the French Revolution, the Antwerp butchers’ guild had its base there.

Close to the Grote Markt, the city hall and the Brabo fountain, today the Butchers’ Hall is a real must-see. This iconic landmark is located in the middle of what was once a picturesque working-class neighbourhood.
