Bruges City Hall, Gothic town hall in Burg Square, Belgium.
Bruges City Hall is a Gothic building located on Burg Square with a stone facade that draws attention. The exterior features carefully arranged niches, decorative windows, and statues that showcase the building's late Gothic design.
Construction began in 1376 when the foundation stone was set in place and finished in 1421. This extended building period allowed the structure to become a defining landmark for the city.
The main hall inside features wall paintings that show key moments from the city's past. These artworks are what visitors notice first when they step into the interior spaces.
The building is open to visitors on most days, though hours may vary seasonally. It is worth checking ahead since the interior space is sometimes used for official events and ceremonies.
The building inspired the design of several other town halls in the region during later centuries. Its architectural approach became a reference point for civic buildings throughout the area.
