Among those on the north side are the Gildehuis der Kuipers (Coopers' House; No. 5), the Huis van de Schutters (Archer's House; No. 7. This is the tallest building, crowned with a statue of St. George) and the Huis van de Kruideniers (Grocers' House; No. 11).

The Grote Markt is bordered on two sides by a series of Renaissance-style guildhalls, the majority of which were renovated during the 19th century. A third side of the square is occupied by the Stadhuis. The former "gildehuizen" were originally the headquarters of the city's 16th and 17th century guilds. Among those on the north side are the Gildehuis der Kuipers (Coopers' House; No. 5), the Huis van de Schutters (Archer's House; No. 7) and the Huis van de Kruideniers (Grocers' House; No. 11), while on the southeast side stand the Huis van de Kleermakers (Tailors' House; No. 38) and the Huis van de Timmerlieden (Carpenters' House; No. 40). A large part of the Grote Markt burned down in 1576. Most of the houses were rebuilt afterwards by Hans Vredeman, the town architect, in Flemish Renaissance style.
