As early as the 13th century, beguines inhabited the Princely Beguinage 'Ten Wijngaarde'. Unmarried women lived together in a closed community and led a fairly independent and emancipated life there. In 1998, UNESCO recognised the Bruges beguinage, along with 12 other Flemish beguinages, as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Today, the white houses surrounding the charming courtyard garden are still inhabited by a few nuns and by women who choose a serene lifestyle. You can visit this unique piece of World Heritage freely, but at dusk, the gates continue to be firmly closed.

A romantic hotspot par excellence! Once people believed that water nymphs (“minnen” in Dutch) lived here, and thus the lake acquired its name. Add to that a tragic love story, mysterious trees and an abundance of greenery and you get a place overflowing with romance. How about an Instagram post? The finest photos can be taken from the Lake of Love bridge, or by the Lockhouse. A hit even without filters.

The Church of Our Lady boasts the world's second-highest brick church tower. A timeless reminder of the craftsmanship of Bruges' builders. The tower, supported by eight strong powerhouses, stretches no less than 115 metres into the sky.
