Stadsschouwburg, Concert hall and historic theatre in Bruges, Belgium
The Stadsschouwburg is a performance venue with a neo-Renaissance stone facade and detailed ornamental work that commands the street. Inside, the auditorium displays red and gold decorations, while a spacious foyer welcomes visitors as they arrive.
Construction began in 1869 following a major demolition in the city center to create space for this new venue. The project reshaped the streets around the building and shaped the city's layout for generations to come.
The building takes its name as the city's municipal cultural venue, where theatre, dance, and musical performances happen regularly. Visitors experience today a varied program that brings together local and international artists on the same stage.
The building features elevators and adapted restrooms to accommodate all visitors comfortably. Parking is available nearby at the Centrum-'t Zand facility, making arrival by car straightforward.
The building stands on a square that was created specifically for its construction, making it a landmark. This square arrangement allows the theatre to be visible from all sides and stand out in the city.
