Discover the Halle Gate

Guided visit

Citizens and patricians, guilds and crafts, clergy, the feudal system, the cloth industry and... um... knights? Close those books and just come and see for yourself! Understand how a city grows by learning about the environment and the people who lived and worked there. Go further and marvel at a curious collection of objects such as stuffed horses, arquebuses (?!) and gorgeous bling necklaces that guild masters wore.
