Gildehuis Van De Vrije Schippers
(
Do not miss
)
Vrije ('free') skippers had an absolute monopoly on the part of the River Leie between the two bridges, Grasbrug and St Michielsbrug,
and so could easily make a living. They built their guild house in Brabant Gothic. Here and there the architecture shows traces
of the unfolding Renaissance, and the arms of Emperor Charles V are carved in the gable: Plus Oultre, which roughly translates
as 'onward ever onward and upward'. The entrance is decorated with the type of ship which carried Christopher Columbus on
his voyages of discovery.
