Bruges Town Hall, built between 1376 and 1420 is one of the oldest in the Low Countries. A ceremonial staircase leads from the entrance hall to the first floor, where visitors can view the Gothic Chamber. This former council chamber continues to play an important part in the life of the city. The wooden, polychrome ceiling is decorated with a profusion of late-mediaeval carving. The murals illustrating Bruges' glorious past were added during the chamber's restoration in the late 19th century. The adjoining 'historical chamber' contains several objects, documents and works of art with a bearing on the city's past. Location
