About

Standing confidently in Ghent, the Stadshal, also known as the City Pavilion, is a striking example of modern architecture by the talented team of Robbrecht en Daem architecten and Marie-José Van Hee architecten. This contemporary structure, unveiled in 2012, creates a visual dialogue with its historic neighbors: the Belfry, Sint-Niklaaskerk, and Stadhuis. Constructed with a blend of wood and glass, the pavilion embraces transparency and openness, allowing light to play across its surfaces. Its design serves as a welcoming space for all, including families with children, offering a versatile area for both casual gatherings and significant events. Every year, the Stadshal plays a pivotal role during the Gentse Feesten, a vibrant festival that fills the city with music and celebration, enhancing its appeal as a year-round destination.
