Hof Bladelin

The medieval mansion features stone medallion portraits of Lorenzo de Medici and his wife in the courtyard, displaying early Renaissance architecture in Bruges.

Pieter Bladelin, treasurer of the Order of the Golden Fleece, constructed this residence in 1440, which later became a branch of the Medici Bank.

The building includes a collection of 16th-century paintings that replicate artworks from the Stanze di Rafaello in the Vatican Palace.

Located at Naaldenstraat 19, the palace charges 10 euros for adult admission and provides facilities such as parking and multilingual staff.

Reverend Leon de Foere established a lace-making school within the palace walls during the early 19th century and added a Classicist chapel.
