MOON OVER BRUGGE...
#abfav_urban_architectural
Brugge is always a city for the romantic, day and night, but, hey, when the moon is out and the houses lit in beauty, aaahhh, what can I say eh... LOL
view from the Beidelstraat towards the Market where these majestic houses are placed.
Some info on the Breidelstraat for those interested:
A spontaneously emerging idea is that this name would have something to do with the Bruges hero of 1302, Jan Breydel who is one of the two in the statue on the Market.
However this is not the case. Giving a street name to a well-known character started only from the end of the 18th century.
The street was called Hofbrugghe first. In 1292 it is mentioned: le pont nommé hofbrugghe .
In 1518 the name Breylstrate emerged. The old West Flemish word kneel means wooden or stone railing of a bridge. This was therefore the knit of the Hofbrug, which became Breidelstraat after a period of years.
In French times the name was understood as being a bridle for taming horses. That is why it was then translated into Rue de la Bride.
The Breidelstraat runs from the Markt to the Burg.
In the Middle Ages, the river that ran there, was bridged by a wooden bridge that was replaced in 1623 by a stone bridge.
At the end of the 18th century, the bridge completely disappeared.
