Rebuilt in 1698, in Louis XIV style. Since 1720, this house has been the seat of the butchers' guild. Together with De Hoorn, it is the only house on the Grand Place for which the three classical architectural styles were not used. Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels wrote their "Communist Manifesto" there in 1847. The Belgian Workers' Party was founded here in 1885.
