Dendermonde, dat is de stad van beiaard. Van het legendarische Ros Beiaard uiteraard, maar ook van de 49 klokken van het Belfort die om het kwartier over de stad luiden.
Stad vol geschiedenis, waar in het verleden de oorlog al te vaak woedde, van de middeleeuwse belegeringen tot WO II. Duik in de verhalen van Dendermonde.
Ontdek het hart van onze stad, heerlijk historisch en cultureel.
The current Vleeshuis was built between 1460 and 1462 on the same site as its predecessor from 1293. On the ground floor was the hall for the local butchers, who were only allowed to sell their meat products here to private individuals.
Over the centuries, the Vleeshuis has served as a meat and cloth hall, aldermen's house, four scissors, prison, guild room, theater and guardroom. In 1862 the last 'meat banks' disappeared and the space was transformed into a covered vegetable market. At the end of the 19th century, the building was thoroughly restored by Edouard Bouwens. Since 1899, the Vleeshuis has functioned as an archaeological museum. In 1914 it narrowly escaped a fire and in 1943 it was protected as a monument.
In the current Vleeshuis Museum, visitors walk through the history of Dendermonde, with prehistory as the starting point and the end of the ancien régime.
