Old toll house

The Old Toll House features a natural stone pointed gable and stands as part of a complex including Het Heilig Graf, Pijndershuisje, and Het Wezelkin buildings.

Built in the early 1200s as a merchant residence, the structure became the office of the Great Toll in the 14th century, managing trade through the Langerei harbor.

The Provincial Library and Archives of Bruges now occupies this protected monument, which received its heritage status designation in 1962.

Located at the intersection of Academiestraat and Genthof, the building maintains limited wheelchair access and connects to major transport routes in central Bruges.

The building complex contains multiple storage spaces from its trading past and carries the specific Flemish Heritage Object identification number 29359.
