Handelsbeurs

This concert hall in central Ghent occupies a nineteenth-century former commodities exchange, converted into a music venue after restoration. Its ornate historic interior, once a trading floor, now hosts jazz, world music, classical and pop concerts in an intimate setting. The building sits on the Kouter square, a traditional gathering place known for its Sunday flower market. Combining a richly detailed heritage room with a broad, eclectic programme, it has become one of the city's most active mid-sized concert spaces.
