Ieperse Lakenhallen inside out

Search for traces of the past yourself in non-public parts of our Cloth Halls. With a guide, you walk through the building and see how present and past come together. You even climb to the highest point of this iconic monument. The iconic Cloth Halls have been watching over Ypres for centuries. And that leaves its mark. In the wake of a guide, you turn the building completely inside out: you come to hidden places where history becomes even more tangible. Up to the tip of the tower, you learn everything about the life cycle of this recently renovated monument. The guided tour takes you along unknown corners of the Cloth Halls. That also means: stairs and 2 ladders. Appropriate footwear is therefore certainly recommended. The tour lasts 90 minutes but may take some more time due to the climb of the belfry tower. You can reserve the following free time slots: 10 AM, 1 PM, 3:30 PM via opstapinieper.be. Practical info: You better climb some stairs and a (sturdy, permanent) ladder during this guided tour. Good, firm shoes are therefore recommended. Accessibility: During this guided tour, you discover inaccessible corners and heights of the Cloth Halls. You therefore have to do quite a few stairs to get everywhere. We ask the visitor to assess their physical ability themselves.
