The Cloth Hall in Ypres, Belgium, is a large Gothic medieval commercial building that served as the main market and warehouse for the city's prosperous cloth industry. Erected mainly between 1200 and 1304, it has a 70-metre belfry tower and measures 125 metres across. Ruined by artillery fire in the First World War, it was reconstructed between 1933 and 1967 under architects J. Coomans and P. A. Pauwels. It now houses the In Flanders Fields Museum and forms part of the UNESCO World Heritage site Belfries of Belgium and France.
