The garden of a fairytale 🇧🇪

#weekendgetaways The Meulenaere Hospice, also known as Hospice St. Joseph, is a serene and historic site located in the heart of Bruges. Established in 1613 by J. De Meulenaere, this hospice was originally created to provide shelter and care for poor widows. The complex features a tranquil garden surrounded by a small group of houses, offering a peaceful retreat from the bustling city. Visitors to the Meulenaere Hospice can enjoy the quiet ambiance and picturesque setting, which feels like stepping into a scene from a children’s book. The central garden, with its simple hedges and a few chairs, invites relaxation and contemplation. This hidden gem offers a unique glimpse into the charitable history of Bruges and is well worth a visit.
