The city of Bruges was founded between the 7th and 9th century on
the banks of the Zwin and enjoyed an economic boom, stimulated by
the Counts of Flanders. Thanks to the presence of the Dukes of
Burgundy, Bruges shaped up to become a prestigious residential town.
As the capital of 15th-century Flemish painting, Bruges becomes
famous for its ironwork, tapestry, embroidery and lace by the end of
the 16th century.
Ever since the beginning of the century, the Venice of the North has
been linked with the sea by means of the Channel of Zeebrugge and is
today a prosperous town that jealously guards its invaluable
architectural and artistic heritage.
