GROENEREI…

DAY 7

 

The sky is still white with heat yet it feels like change in the air. We are once more at the Groenerei.

 

Groenerei is a stream and a street in the center of Bruges.

The name "Groenerei" would be derived from an inn called 't Groene.

Until recently it was assumed that the Groenerei is not a natural watercourse, but a canal dug by humans to meet a distant mill (the Molenbrug on the St. Annarei, dug in the 11th century.

According to its current views the Groenerei is indeed a segment of the natural course of the Reie.

From 1127 made the Groenerei part of the first city walls of Bruges.

Of all the canals in the centre of town; The Groenerei, the 'green canal', is the most romantic I think.

 

 

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