Museum Godshuis Belle, Protected monument and art museum in Ypres, Belgium.
Museum Godshuis Belle displays a collection of paintings, sculptures, and furniture pieces within a restored medieval almshouse building and chapel complex.
The institution originated in 1273 when Christine de Guinness established it during the broadcloth crisis, evolving from a hospital to an elderly care facility.
The museum exhibits a significant panel painting from 1420 depicting the Virgin with donors Joos Bryde and Yolenthe Belle alongside old master artworks.
Located at Rijselstraat 38, the museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 AM to 12:30 PM and 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM with entry fees starting at €2.50.
The building maintains connections to Jehan Yperman, the first medical writer in Dutch, who worked at the institution from 1304 until 1331.
