Opposite the side entrance of the Sint Niklaaskerk, on the Sint-Niklaasstraat, the original Mason's guilgd house from 1526 can be found. The building was drastically rebuilt in 1852 and it was widely believed that the original facade was destroyed. Therefore in 1912/1913 a replica of this house was erected on the Graslei named Den Enghel (angel). During renovation works in 1976, it was discovered that the original Gothic facade was only hiding behind some ugly plasterwork. This guild house is famous for the six figures representing from top to bottom gods, devils and men.
