    The Cloth Hall of Ypres is one of Europe's largest bourgeois buildings in Gothic style. The cloth halls used to be used as a trading place for cloth. The sheet was sold in every doorway at the bottom of the belfry. Ypres was very famous in the Middle Ages because of the good quality of the cloth.
