Belgium / Belgique. Brugge / Provincial Court

The Provincial Court is in neo-Gothic style and was constructed in two phases (1887-1892 and 1914-1921).

It refers to the Gothic façades of the town hall of Bruges and Gruuthuse palace. Renowned artists such as Hendrik and Gustaaf Pickery carried out the interior decorations, the stained-glass windows and the ironwork.

The building on the left side was originally intended to be the governor’s residence.

 

The statues at the centre of the square are of Jan Breydel and Pieter de Coninck.
