Antwerpener Handelsbörse

The Antwerper Handelsbörse is a reminder of the impressive role Antwerp played in the European economy until the 16th century. This neo-Gothic monument from 1872 is the third version, as previous bourses were destroyed by fire. The first bourse, built in 1531, marked the city's Golden Age. Today, as then, the Trade Fair is a vibrant place where culture, trade and ideas converge, and remains an important meeting place with international allure.
