The original building of the masons' guild (15th century) with dancing men on the pediment was restored only in the 20th century, when the new owners of the building discovered the old facade under a thick layer of plaster. What is interesting - the figures on the pediment perform the steps of the popular medieval dance "Morris". This dance is notable for its special vigor and mobility, it resembles a game duel and is performed only by men. Address: Sint-Niklaasstraat 2, opposite St. Nicholas Church.→
