Английская Википедия:Cloth hall
Шаблон:Short description A cloth hall or linen hall (Шаблон:Lang-de; Шаблон:Lang-pl; Шаблон:Lang-fr; Шаблон:Lang-nl) is a historic building located in the centre of the main marketplace of a European town. Cloth halls were built from medieval times into the 18th century.
A cloth hall contained trading stalls for the sale, particularly, of cloth but also of leather, wax, salt, and exotic imports such as silks and spices.

Examples of cloth halls in Belgium include the Ypres Cloth Hall and cloth halls in Bruges, Leuven, and Tournai. Leuven's Linen-Hall is in an early-Gothic style, with baroque addition, and now serves as the Leuven University Hall.
