A historic monument of great importance
The history of the Vieille Bourse dates back to the 17th century, when it was built in 1651 under the reign of King Philip IV of Spain. The Bourse was first and foremost a trading centre for Lille merchants, and was built in a majestic Flemish Renaissance style.
It was used as a trading centre until 1923. The Vieille Bourse also served as the backdrop for a notable speech by Frederick Kuhlmann, President of the Lille Chamber of Commerce, on the subject of national industry and Lille’s role within it.
The new Bourse now houses the Lille Chamber of Commerce, which features an imposing 76-metre-high neo-Flemish belfry. This belfry, equipped with an automated carillon, is a prominent symbol of the city of Lille.
The building is a listed historic monument and now houses the headquarters of the Greater Lille Chamber of
Commerce and Industry.
