THE TURRETS of BRUGGE… by magdaindigo by magdaindigo

Tour of Europe 04 2016

Day 12

The Meebrug is the oldest bridge in Bruges.
The first mention of the Meebrug dates from 1290. The current name was only first used in 1440.
In 1390 the original wooden bridge was replaced by a stone copy built by the famous bridge builder Bruges Jan van Oudenaarde .
The Meebrug is a simple arch bridge paved with cobblestones.

The turrets, ahhhh how people of Brugge love them, put them everywhere, but here, on Brugse Vrije, the 16th century rear facade of the manor on the ‘Groenerei’, they wow you.

I wish you a day full of beauty and thank you for your visit, Magda, (*_*)
