St. Donatian's Cathedral, Former cathedral in Bruges
St. Donatian's Cathedral was once a magnificent church in the heart of Bruges.
The cathedral dated back to the 12th century and was an important religious site until its destruction in 1799.
Its close association with the Burgundian court made it a symbol of the region's history and culture.
The site where the cathedral stood is now the location of the Crowne Plaza Brugge hotel.
Underneath the hotel, remnants of St. Donatian's can be visited.
