Adornes Estate, Medieval church and museum complex in Bruges, Belgium

The Adornes Estate is a medieval complex in Bruges comprising the Jerusalem Chapel, the Adornes Museum and a shop at the corner of Peperstraat and Balstraat. The chapel, built in the first half of the 15th century by descendants of Opicius Adornes, was inspired by the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. The museum occupies the almshouses behind the chapel and displays the career of merchant and diplomat Anselm Adornes (1424-1483) and life in medieval Bruges.

The chapel was built in the first half of the 15th century by descendants of Opicius Adornes, a Genoese who settled in Bruges in the 13th century. It was inspired by the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, where Jacob and Pieter Adornes had made a pilgrimage. Inside is the tomb of Anselm Adornes (1424-1483) and his wife Margareta van der Banck. The estate has remained in the family's hands since the 15th century.

The chapel was built in the first half of the 15th century by descendants of Opicius Adornes, a Genoese who settled in Bruges in the 13th century.
