Castles & Historic Buildings

Bruges’ historic landscape is defined by its well-preserved medieval fortifications and civic monuments. This collection spans the city's architectural evolution, from the 13th-century Belfry and the Gothic Revival Provincial Court to the defensive ring of 14th-century city gates like the Ezelpoort and Smedenpoort. Beyond the central squares, the list includes various moated estates and manor houses, such as Tillegem and Tudor, which showcase the aristocratic heritage and diverse residential styles of the surrounding Flemish countryside.
