Heilige Bloedkapel

  Heilige Bloedkapel sits at Burg Square in the heart of Bruges, just a stone's throw from the iconic City Hall. Built in the 12th century, this chapel is revered for housing a relic believed to contain the blood of Christ, a significant pilgrimage site for centuries. The chapel's main feature is its ornate altar, which beautifully displays the relic and offers a space for reflection and prayer. If you visit in May, you can witness the Procession of the Holy Blood, an elaborate parade celebrating this historic event. Inside, visitors can admire intricate carvings, unique stained glass windows, and explore the chapel’s fascinating history.
