De Oude Vismijn

Welcome to De Oude Vismijn

De Oude Vismijn (The Old Fish Market) is a historic site in the heart of Ghent, located at the confluence of the rivers Lieve and Leie.

In this fully renovated complex, there are four halls, a pontoon, terrace and spacious courtyard at your disposal. The total capacity of De Oude Vismijn is 1,400 persons, but you will also find a suitable space for events starting from 100 persons. To make your party an unforgettable experience, De Oude Vismijn works together with various regular partners. A location that undoubtedly makes an impression!
