Ghent Korenmarkt

The Korenmarkt (Corn Market) designates the historic central square of Ghent, the meeting point of the city's three landmark towers (Saint Nicholas, Belfort, Saint Bavo), a perspective dubbed the Three Tower Row (Drie Torenrij) included within the broader Ghent UNESCO outline. The perimeter was redesigned in 2011 after full pedestrianisation, removing tram tracks and motor traffic. The square is bordered by former cloth guild houses and the 1898 The Post hotel. A notable point: the 600-metre alignment of the Three Towers is one of the three most recognised medieval cityscapes in Europe, alongside Prague and Bologna (Visit Belgium officiel, 2026).

Hospitality context
1898 The Post (Zannier Hotels) sits directly on the Korenmarkt, in the former 1898 neo-Gothic Central Post Office. The Director suite at the top of the tower delivers a 360-degree view of the Three Towers. Rates range from 240 to 1,100 euros per night by category.
