Civil and military monument
The Michelin Guide's review
It was here that the sovereigns of Flanders would address the people and that weavers and wool workers fought each other in May 1345. A statue stands on the square in honour of a victim of this strife, Jacob Van Artevelde. There are fine buildings, such as the imposing mixed-style "Ons Huis-Bond Moyson" (1902) to the north or the turreted Het Toreken (1458), which belonged to the tanners' guild, on the far side of the square.
