Graslei (snowy)<br> Ghent picture - The house in the middle with the late-gothic facade is the guild house of the 'Free sailors'. The original house was built in 1355 but rebuilt after it was sold to the guild of sailors in 1530. The latter was a powerful guild because they controlled ship transportation through the harbour of Ghent.
