NOTES: The Romanesque Koornstapelhuis dates from c. 1200, the oldest house on Graslei, and was originally a public warehouse for storing grain. The Tolhuisje, originally a customs house, dates from 1682. The Baroque Gildhuis der Graanmeters was built for the Guildhouse of Grain Weighers in 1698. The late Gothic Gildehuis der Vrije Schippers was built between 1500 and 1531 by C. van den Berghe.
