Drinking fountain
Located next to the Church of Our Lady is this drinking well. I'm always amazed at how many of these wells you can find throughout many small cities in Europe. I didn't try any of the water, but I hear it's safe and clean to drink.

The mediaeval belfry tower (13th-15th century) is 88 metres in height and houses the former city treasury, in which Bruges' valuables (money and royal charters) were once kept. A climb of 366 steps takes the visitor past the impressive clock mechanism and culminates in a breathtaking panoramic view of the city and its surroundings. The famous 47-bell carillon is also located here
Let's get back to the medieval houses (they really should place labels with detailed history on this marvelous houses). Near the Love Lake - Minnewater (I suppose you read my 'must see activities about this one'), near a bridge that sepparates the lake from the canals, is this wonderful lonely house.
I found out what is about this house. This is the 16th century lock-keeper's house (Sluice House), which conects the canals of the old town with the Minnewater, which is connected with the Canal of Ghent.
When I visited Brugge on a school trip long ago the markets and streets were full of young girls and old women busy making lace items. Hand made lace can still be found but you would have to look long and hard to find some. Most lace products are mass produced machine made and imported from the far east. We spotted this old lady practicing her skill in a doorway. Nice to know it still exsists even on a small scale
Brugge 2002 : for this special event, many old buildings have been restored, like this magnificent building (het Vrije) at the Burg. For many months this building was wrapped, it looked like one of the works of Christo, but now everybody can admire the restorations.

Q: Castle ten Berghe. "Hi! Can anyone tell me whether the Castle ten Berghe can be visited by day trippers or is it only for guests staying overnight?..."
A: "No idea about the first part of your post. I don't see why you couldn't go and have a meal or a coffee or something. Or even go and just wander round the grounds...."
