The Antwerp Stock is a reminder of the prominent and impressive role that the city of Antwerp played in Europe’s economy and finance well into the 16th century. This architectural, neo-Gothic gem is one of Antwerp’s most beautiful historic monuments.
This heritage building dates from 1872 and is the third incarnation of the stock exchange: unfortunately it went up in flames twice. The very first stock exchange on this site dates back to 1531, at the time of Antwerp’s Golden Age. At that time, more than 40 percent of all world trade passed through Antwerp. This ‘mother of all fairs’ was a model for many other exchanges in Europe: it was the Wallstreet of the sixteenth century, specialising in the trade of currency, bills of exchange and securities.
Today, the Antwerp Stock Exchange is - just like in the 16th century - an inspiring meeting place and economic and cultural attraction with international appeal where emotions, experiences, ideas, goods, money and services were and are shared.
