The former treasure-house of the palace of the Brugse Vrije ("The free region of Bruges" ) an administrative entity comprising the surrounding area, but not the city itself) contains a monumental 16th-century Renaissance chimney-breast installed in honour of Emperor Charles V.

This complex and refined ensemble of wood, marble and alabaster was designed by the Bruges artist Lanceloot Blondeel and was executed by a variety of local joiners and sculptors.
