Huidenvettershuis

Description

The "Huidenvettershuis", a former guildhall in #Brugge (West-Vlaanderen), was built by the tanners' guild. Its main wing, reconstructed in 1630 under Jan De Smet, was restored in 1912 by Etienne Timmery. Used as a fish trade and stockfish processing site from the mid-19th century by the Mestdagh family, it later became an exhibition space post-WWII until the late 20th century, then a hospitality venue. The south facade, built in 1665 and rebuilt in 1716 by Elias Feys, became a tavern, Het Dreveken, before joining the Mestdagh business.
