"All" was a somewhat exagerated of me. Sorry :) for this But i do think
people ment  the older ones.I remember visiting a "Sint-Janshospitaal"
in Lubecke, and i thought i could be visiting the elder
"Sint-Janshospitaal" in Brugge in Flanders. It all looked very
familiar. I saw a double citygate in Lubecke and it was almost
identical to a twintower building (de Broeltorens) in Kortrijk in
Flanders. "Hallenkerken" and "trapgevels", even brickbuildings  in
France are seen as something Flemish.
