Lakenhallen - Ieper - Belgium
The Cloth Hall served as sales and storage of cloth to the (now vaulted) waterway, the Ieperlee. The construction of the hall was completed in 1304.
In this building the sheets underwent their last official control before the wool merchants could finally stacking and selling.
During the First World War the building was completely destroyed, except a small piece of the tower and a couple of walls. The reconstruction was led by architects Ir. J. Coomans (+ 1937) and PA Pauwels.
Above the "Dark Gate", under the arms, is a statue of Our Lady of Thuyne, patroness of the city.
