Bruges Burg Square
Burg Square is one of Bruge's two Medieval squares. Key landmarks on the square are Bishop's Palace, the Town Hall, Old Civil Registry and the Holy Blood Basilica.
Burg Square is the Administrative Center of Bruges. It is bordered on three sides by the
Landhuis van het Brugse Vrije (Mansion of Bruges), the Civil Registry and Gothic Town Hall,
and the Basilica of the Holy Blood, which was the chapel of the Count of Flanders. The fourth
side was occupied by the Sint-Donatius Cathedral, destroyed during the French Revolution.

Bruges, Belgium - Burges City Hall & Burg Square (2018)
The Bruges City Hall is one of the oldest city halls in the entire Netherlands region. It is located in Burg Square (nl), the area of the former fortified castle in the centre of Bruges, Belgium.
After a fire in the city's Belfry in 1280 the old Ghyselhuus, which had already fallen into disuse as the jail of the count of Flanders, became the meeting place for the city council. In 1376 the Ghyselhuus was pulled down and replaced by a new purpose built council building. Count Louis laid the foundation stone. Responsibility for its construction was given Jan Roegiers, and the project was completed, eventually, in 1421. The City Hall is the earliest late Gothic monumental-style municipal council building in Flanders or Brabant: its flamboyant opulence testifies to the city's economic and political power at a time when the population of Bruges is believed to have reached more than 37,000, or even 45,000 people.
The pioneering stone facade of the oldest part, which during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries was several times extended towards the south, inspired in quick succession the city halls of Brussels, Ghent, Leuven and Oudenaarde. The building's admirers highlight the effect of the Brugian span, referring to the abundance of repeating systematically positioned niches encompassing the windows, though it is not clear that this effect was invented in Bruges.
The statues under the stone baldachin-canopies on the building's facade have been renewed several times. At the time of the French Revolution all the statues were destroyed. A small number of genuine pieces are now included in the collections of the city museum. The crenelated facade is topped off with little turrets and the roof is decorated with its own little crests and dormers. In 1766 the door on the left side of the building's facade was repositioned to make the overall effect more symmetrical.
Between 1895 and 1905 the distinguished local architect, Louis Delacenserie and the Gothic Revival champion Jean-Baptiste Bethune started the restoration of the interior. The lesser and greater council chamber were replaced by a single Gothic Hall. The rich decoration of this chamber now offered competition to the elaborate exterior facade. The impressive double vaulted timber ceiling was restored and extended to cover the entire area, while the vaulting over the two eastern bays dates only from the nineteenth century. Medallions in the bosses show New Testament scenes, prophets, evangelists and saints. Decoration of the corbels supporting the roof reflect natural and seasonal themes. On the walls mural paintings by Albrecht De Vriendt (fr) show scenes from the history of Bruges. Like the monumental mantle-pieces these are nineteenth century neo-gothic enhancements. The stone vault from 1766 which had covered the lower level was at the same time replaced by a quasi-historical timber structure, supported by four columns that divide the room into two halves.
Bruges is the capital and largest city of the province of West Flanders in the Flemish Region of Belgium, in the northwest of the country.
The area of the whole city amounts to more than 13,840 hectares, including 1,075 hectares off the coast, at Zeebrugge (from Brugge aan zee,[2] meaning Bruges by the Sea). The historic city centre is a prominent World Heritage Site of UNESCO. It is oval in shape and about 430 hectares in size. The city's total population is 117,073 (1 January 2008), of whom around 20,000 live in the city centre. The metropolitan area, including the outer commuter zone, covers an area of 616 km2 (238 sq mi) and has a total of 255,844 inhabitants as of 1 January 2008.
Along with a few other canal-based northern cities, such as Amsterdam, it is sometimes referred to as the Venice of the North. Bruges has a significant economic importance, thanks to its port, and was once one of the world's chief commercial cities. Bruges is well known as the seat of the College of Europe, a university institute for European studies.

比利時布魯日 Brugge Walking Tour,2018年4月13日4K攝影.
布魯日(荷蘭語:Brugge [ˈbrɵɣə]),也譯布呂赫(法語:Bruges [bʁyːʒ]),位於比利時西北部,是西法蘭德斯省省會和最大城市,人口117,170(2012年)。在歐洲也被譽為「北方的威尼斯」.
城堡廣場(Burg)是比利時城市布魯日的一個廣場,位於古城中心。此處原是一個堡壘,位於幾條羅馬道路的交匯處,占地約1公頃,是布魯日城市最古老的核心之一。阿努爾夫一世(889-965)建造城堡,城堡內北部又修建了聖母教堂和聖多納廷主教座堂
市集廣場(Markt)位於比利時布呂赫舊城的中心,占地約1公頃。廣場周圍的歷史亮點包括南側12世紀的鐘樓,和省議會(Provincial Hof)(原來是 水廳Waterhall,在1787年被拆除,代之以一座古典主義建築,自1850年起充作省政府宮,1878年大火後,於1887年重建為新哥德式風格)。在市集廣場的中央,矗立著揚·布雷德爾(Jan Breydel)和彼得·德·科寧克(Pieter de Coninck)的雕像。
布魯日鐘樓(Belfort)是比利時布魯日歷史中心的一座中世紀鐘樓,也是該市最突出的標誌。布魯日鐘樓過去用來收藏珍寶和市政檔案,以及用來觀測火情及其他危險狀況。一條狹窄陡峭的,366級台階,通往83米高的頂部(大約向東傾斜1米)(資料摘自Yahoo,維基百科)。

布魯日(荷蘭語:Brugge [ˈbrɵɣə],法語:Bruges [bʁyːʒ]),位於比利時西北部,是西弗蘭德省省會和最大城市,人口117,224(2006年)。在歐洲也被譽為「北方的威尼斯」。
布魯日位於沿海造地與內陸沙烏地的交界處,海拔相當低,大約只高出海平面7.5米。其歷史城區的範圍由城牆劃定。城牆始建於1297年,並在17世紀初建起了一系列棱堡(bastion)。城牆長6800米,圍起了410公頃的區域。1275年起的規劃直到18世紀仍能適合城市發展,但在1782年至1784年間,一些防禦工事被拆除。在19世紀,城牆被改成散步場所,四座城門與一座防禦塔(defence tower)留了下來。城市核心部分的發展主要圍繞兩個中心:其一是伯爵城堡(Burg of the counts),一個16公頃的四方小島;其二是老城堡(Oude Burg)的商人住宅區。老城堡是12世紀時該城最初的發展中心。以前城牆的走向可由城內運河來看出。
布魯日城內的一條老街,遠處是聖母教堂
布魯日城區有大量交錯的小巷與一個接一個的廣場,其中以城堡廣場(Burg)和市集廣場(Grand-Place)尤為著名。前者原先的標誌性建築是聖多納廷主教座堂(the cathedral of Saint-Donatien,在1799年至1800年間被毀)與公爵住宅,之後被聖巴西略雙小堂取代。一千年來,城堡廣場一直被視為宗教與市政當局聯合的象徵,也是一些公共機構的所在地。而市集廣場上則以大會堂、鐘樓等居多,象徵城市自治。城市中心大多為富貴人家居住,勞動者聚集在外圍。
進入19世紀後,人口的增長帶來了綠地的分配。只有新劇場周圍的區域經過鄂圖曼(Haussmann)式改建(始於1864年)。布魯日市區部分的特色之一是運河,部分遵循天然河道,部分人工挖出。當地人稱之為「雷耶」(Reie,大約意為人工加固過的河道,類似於碼頭)。在布魯日城牆內,也有一些綠地被保存下來,但最靠內陸的地方沒有。許多花園和公園都屬於宗教機構。
從中世紀到近現代,布魯日的建築主要是磚造哥德式建築,以及一種獨特的被稱作「布魯日跨度」(travée brugeoise)的建築風格。這一風格與德國北部的磚造哥德式相似(比如:杜伊斯堡(Doesburg)),但由於兩者發展的不同,一般區別劃分。此風格在16世紀早期便已成型,之後稍有變化,直到17世紀仍被使用,並成為19世紀重建時的主要靈感來源。

Tour with the Free Shuttle Bus in Bruges - Belgium 4K Travel Channel
The free shuttle bus in Bruges is very helpful. It runs every 20 minutes.
The central junction of the shuttles is Jan van Eyck Square. Here, one shuttle bus drives the long northern loop, the other one goes south. Many sights of the city are along the way. The southern loop proves for us to be particularly helpful since it represents a direct connection between the station and the center of the city.
As we wait for the bus at Jan van Eyck Square, a dog club passes by. The members walk their dogs together through the city. Except for a few exceptions, the dogs are only dachshunds.
The bus goes through the Wijnzakstraat, the Kraanplein, and through the Jakob von Ooststraat past the Municipal Theater, Royal City Theater, to the egg market.
Through the Geldmunstraat and Noordzandstraat, we reach the Concert Hall, Concertgebouw. From here we go directly to the train station.
On the way back, the route takes us along the barge path to Katelijnepoort, where a cargo ship is passing the swinging bridge.
The Katelijne stop is diagonally opposite the Academie Brugge DKO, an academy of fine arts and audiovisual arts. It is the ideal stop to visit the Godshuizen.
Via Mariastraat the bus reaches Simon Stevin Square.
Next stop is at the Hof van Watervliet in the narrow street Oude Burg. From there we continue via the Wollestraat to the market place, Grote Markt.
Through the Vlamingstraat and the Academiestraat, we get back to Jan van Eyck Platz.
We didn't take the northern loop due to lack of time.

Der kostenloser Shuttle Bus in Brügge ist sehr hilfreich. Er verkehrt im 20 Minuten Takt. Zentraler Knotenpunkt ist der Jan van Eyck Platz, an dem sich die Busse kreuzen. Einer fährt im Norden eine langgezogenen Schleife, der andere im Süden. Dabei werden viele wichtige Punkte der Stadt angefahren.
Besonders hilfreich erweist sich für uns die Südschleife, da sie eine direkte Verbindung zwischen dem Bahnhof und dem Zentrum der Stadt darstellt.
Als wir am Jan van Eyck Platz auf den Bus warten kommt ein Hundeverein vorbei, dessen Mitglieder einen gemeinsamen Spaziergang durch die Stadt unternehmen. Die Hunde sind bis auf wenige Ausnahmen nur Dackel.
Der Bus fährt durch die Wijnzakstraat, die Kraanplein durch die Jakob von Ooststraat am Stadttheater vorbei zum Eiermarkt.
Durch die Geldmunstraat und Noordzandstraat erreichen wir das Konzerthaus, Concertgebouw. Von hier aus geht es direkt zum Bahnhof.
Bei der Rückfahrt führt uns die Route über den Bargeweg zum Katelijnepoort, wo gerade ein Frachtschiff die schwenkbare Brücke passiert.
Weiter geht es in die Katelijnestraat, Die Haltestelle Katelijne liegt schräg gegenüber der Akademie Brügge DKO, einer Akademie im Bereich Bildender und Audiovisueller Kunst. Es ist die ideale Haltestelle um die Godshuizen zu besuchen.
Über die Mariastraat erreicht der Bus den Simon Stevin Platz. Nächster Halt ist der Hof van Watervliet in der Straße Oude Burg.
Von dort aus geht es über die Wollestraat zum Marktplatz Grote Markt.
Durch die Vlamingstraat und die Academiestraat kommen wir wieder zum Jan van Eyck Platz.
Die nördliche Schleife sind wir aus Zeitgründen nicht gefahren.
