La Maison de la Brouette, on the left, was the tallow makers' guildhouse. The figure at the top is St Gilles, the guild's patron saint.
On the right, the seventeenth-century building known as Roi d'Espagne was once the headquarters of the guild of bakers. It's named after the bust of Charles II on the facade, also adorned by allegorical statues of Energy, Fire, Water, Wind, Wheat and Prudence (meant to represent the elements necessary for baking the ideal loaf).
On the ground floor the building now holds the famous Roy d'Espagne, the most popular of the square's bars. The fine views of the Grand-Place from the rooms upstairs and the terrace mean it's often packed.
