Designed by Julien Destrée and built between 1652 and 1653, the building was originally meant to house traders and salesmen, and is undoubtedly the most beautiful monument in the city. It is made up of 24 identical houses, which together form a kind of cloister around a central courtyard.At the top of the bell tower is a statue of Mercury, the god of commerce, and the emblem of the Lille Stock Exchange building.
