Other Brugges Sites

Until the sixteenth century Bruges was an important trading centre. The Zwin gave it access to the sea and  it was a point of exchange for the whole of Europe. After the Zwin silted up, trading came to a standstill and the city became Bruges la Morte for 300 years. The city was finally rediscovered by English and French romantics, who fell under the spell of its intact architecture, harmony of styles and freshwater canals.
