The Vleeshuis, or Butcher's Hall, is a Gothic guildhall built in Antwerp between 1501 by architects Alexis Van Mechelen and Herman de Waghemakere. Originally serving the city's meat merchants, this protected monument now functions as a museum situated at the intersection of Drie Hespenstraat, Repenstraat, and Vleeshouwersstraat. The building occupies a site near the historic Bloedberg, or Blood Mountain, where the Drie Hespenstraat descends toward the Burchtgracht—a location name that reflects Antwerp's medieval butchery trade.
