Right in the city centre but so easy to miss! One of the rare places in the city where the medieval atmosphere has survived the course of the centuries. This passage consisting of a few small streets dates from 1591 and was at that time home to the poorest residents. It was saved from urban development in the 1960s by the famous antiquarian and designer Axel Vervoordt. In this unique and quiet setting, you can now discover a few art galleries and two famous restaurants: ’t Hofke serving classical Flemish food and the upscale Sir Anthony van Dijck with its well-preserved renaissance interior.
Access via Oude Koornmarkt 16 or the Pelgrimstraat.
