The Vleeshal at the Grote Markt in Haarlem is a prime example of the work of Lieven de Key. It was built in 1602-1604. The large Haarlem shield on the front is attributed to Hendrik de Keyser, and some decorations are from drawings by Hans Vredeman de Vries.
This small facade is said to be a masterpiece or demonstration of De Key's abilities, who built it to prove his mastery of the art of masonry and architectural design. It faces the city hall side entrance, where the decision makers of the Haarlem council met.Architects born in the 1560s 2
