Sights and Attractions at Bruges

The coach-house contains old carriages and sledges. The ground floor of the Arents House is home to the Lace Museum, with its extensive and varied collection of old needlepoint, bobbin and mixed lace. A series of fascinating paintings illustrates the use of lace as a costume decoration over the years. The first floor of the building is given over to the work of Frank Brangwyn (1867-1956), a versatile artist of British nationality, but born in Bruges. His Art Nouveau and Art Deco carpets, pottery and furniture are grouped thematically, as are his engravings, watercolours, drawings and paintings.
2- Onze-Lieve-Vrouw ter Duinenkerk-: The architecture of the strikingly modern Onze-Lieve-Vrouw ter Duinenkerk (Our Lady of Sorrows of the Dunes Church), north of the abbey, suggests both the dunes and the sea through bold colors, undulating forms, and stained glass. The church was built in 1964. A crypt holds the remains of the first abbot of adjacent Dunes Abbey.
3- Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekerk- : On a clear day you can see as far as the Netherlands from the top of the tower of the Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekerk (Church of Our Lady), which rises high above the surrounding farmland as a symbol of Damme's proud past. Poet Jacob van Maerlant, who lived and worked in Damme during the late 13th century, is buried under the main portal below the tower. Charles the Bold and Margaret of York were married here.
