Bruges City Hall, Gothic town hall in Burg Square, Belgium.
The stone facade of the building displays systematic rows of niches, decorative windows, and statues across its late Gothic architectural structure.
Construction of the municipal building started in 1376 when Count Louis placed the foundation stone and continued until its completion in 1421.
The Gothic Hall features a vaulted ceiling and wall murals painted by Albrecht De Vriendt depicting significant events from the history of Bruges.
The municipal building opens daily from 9:30 AM to 5:00 PM, with admission prices of 8 euros for adults and free entry for children under 13.
The municipal building served as an architectural model for multiple Belgian town halls, including those in Brussels, Ghent, Leuven, and Oudenaarde.
