Bassin des Marchands - Koopliedendok

The Bassin des Marchands was excavated in 1560-1561. From 1878 it was covered in different stages. To the south lay the new Vismet (Fish Market), which was demolished in 1955. Two ponds evoke an image of the former harbor dock. The fountain commemorating Mayor Anspach comes from the Place De Brouckère. Along the streets are houses with neoclassical façade, some with an older core (17th century). The Cheval Marin (Seahorse) (1680), Quai aux Briques 90, was a former inn and the residence of the harbormaster. It was dismantled and rebuilt in 1898-1899.
