Stokstraat
A cobbled street lined with carefully preserved 17th- and 18th-century façades. Today it is a shopping street full of boutiques and design brands.
The Stokstraat area was once the most rundown part of the old town. In the mid-20th century the whole district was restored. Many 17th- and 18th-century houses with carved lintels and gables survive, and the street now hosts boutiques for fashion, jewelry, and home goods. At the corner stands a small plaza with a bronze statue called The Onlooker. It is a two-minute walk from Our Lady's Square. Some shops open on Sunday afternoons, and you can combine a visit with the shopping streets of Wyck and the city center.
