11-bed house, Bruges

In the historic heart of Bruges stands one of the city’s most impressive mansions. This exceptionally wide corner property is built on the foundations of the former Saint Walburga Church and is officially listed as a protected monument, making it part of Bruges’ most valuable heritage. Behind its stately façade lies a rich history, generous space, and a warm, homely atmosphere. With a living area of no less than 1,248 m² and a plot of 820 m², this property offers unparalleled possibilities. The grand entrance hall leads to stunning reception rooms with high ceilings. There is a library, an office, several dining rooms, and a fully equipped kitchen. The exceptional width and corner position provide an abundance of natural light and a sense of openness that is extremely rare in a historic city centre. On the first floor, there are six spacious bedrooms and four bathrooms, while the second floor offers five additional bedrooms and three bathrooms, including a full-fledged loft. Some rooms are designed as suites with their own living area and kitchenette. The property also features extensive cellar space. The property has two house numbers, offering the possibility to reactivate the left wing as a bed & breakfast. Thanks to a separate entrance, an independent staircase, a private garden, and the option to separate the upper-floor rooms from the private living area, the layout is perfectly suited for this purpose. The house can also be easily divided internally into two separate units if desired. An additional asset is the space for one to two cars behind the monumental carriage gate. Furthermore, adjacent to the garden, there is an authentic coach house in need of renovation, ideal as a guest house, studio, professional practice, or other creative use. The roofs have also been completely renewed recently. This mansion offers the perfect combination for those seeking grand living or wishing to realize a unique hospitality concept in the heart of the city.
