Today, my group and I took a visit to the city of Bruges! We did so much while we were there and saw so many buildings and pieces of art that were important to our history! Places like the Church of Our Lady, the Chocolate Museum, and the Basilica of the Holy Blood! While any of these places would have been amazing to do a blog on, I was given the assignment to make my next blog post about the Jerusalem Church.

When I first saw it, I knew it was a church. However, it looked very different to me because the top was spherical instead of pointed like most churches. That’s because the architectural style was made in the style of many Israeli and Russian churches. Made in 1423 by descendants of Opicious Adornes, it is the only privately owned church in Bruges and you can only go inside if you have an admissions ticket.

While it was not one of my favorite places that I saw in Bruges, it was still really cool to see! It has such great history behind it and so does the rest of the city!
