The Hôtel de Ville, without the grandeur of the Hôtel de Ville at Brussels, but still a gem of mediæval architecture, was built on the site of the old 'Ghiselhuis' of Baldwin Bras-de-Fer.
Here he built a fortress for himself and his household, a church dedicated to St. Donatian, a prison, and a 'ghiselhuis, or house for the safe keeping of hostages. The whole was enclosed by walls, built close to the edge of the surrounding waters.
