Monumental townhouse with carriage house and exceptional grandeur

In the historic heart of Bruges lies one of the city's most impressive mansions. This exceptionally wide corner building, constructed in a neoclassical style around 1787 on the foundations of the former Sint-Walburga Church, is officially protected as a monument and belongs to the most valuable heritage that Bruges has to offer. The stately facade with its refined details immediately announces what can be found inside: a residence that not only offers exceptional space but also carries a history and significance that transcends generations. Through the monumental entrance, you enter a series of beautiful salons, high ceilings, and spacious reception rooms that recall an era of style and elegance. There is a library room, an office, various dining rooms, and a fully equipped kitchen, making the house suitable for both representative use and comfortable living. The special width and corner location provide an abundance of light and an open feeling that is particularly rare in a historic city center. With a livable area of no less than 1,248 m² and a plot of 820 m², this residence offers unprecedented possibilities. On the first floor, there are six spacious bedrooms and four bathrooms, while the second floor accommodates another five bedrooms and three bathrooms, including a full-fledged loft. Some rooms are designed as suites with their own living area and kitchenette, ideal for guests or for those seeking privacy and independence within the whole. Additionally, a partially basement section extends under the property. The property has two house numbers, offering the possibility to reactivate the left section as a bed & breakfast. Thanks to a separate entrance, private garden, and separate stairwell, the layout is perfectly suited for this, ensuring the separation between private and guest areas in an elegant manner. Behind the monumental coach gate, there is space for one to two cars, and on the grounds, there is also an authentic coach house awaiting renovation, which is excellently suited as an additional guesthouse, studio, or creative use. Moreover, the roofs have been completely renewed recently, providing peace of mind for the future owner and preparing this heritage property for a new generation of residents. This mansion combines a rich history with exceptional charm and almost unlimited potential. A rare jewel where authenticity, elegance, and possibilities converge—perfect for those who wish to live grandly or realize a unique hospitality dream in the heart of the city.
