During the Middle Ages, Flanders gained the bulk of its wealth from the cloth trade. Buying and selling took place in the cloth halls; goods were sampled and prices discussed. Almost all old Flemish towns have impressive cloth halls. Building work on the Ghent Cloth Hall began too late, in 1425, when the cloth trade was declining in importance. For that reason the building was used for various other purposes; at one time it was a prison. Access to the bell tower is via the Cloth Hall (Belfort).
