Bruggemuseum-Brugse Vrije
The Liberty of Bruges | Burg 11A | B-8000-BrugesLive map
The Liberty of Bruges once housed the city’s courts, but now provides a home for the Municipal Archives. As such, it is the very living, written memory of the history of the city itself. Passing through the old Court of Justice, you will reach the famous Renaissance Chamber (formerly the Aldermen’s Chamber), where pride of place is given to the monumental 16th-century fireplace, with its mantel of wood, marble and alabaster, designed by Lanceloot Blondeel in honour of Emperor Charles V.
