Brugge Foundation wants to give heritage properties, that by their very nature are difficult to find a new meaningful use for, an appropriate new use and thus secure them for future times.<\/p>

This always concerns historic buildings and sites in Bruges with a socio-cultural, historical, religious, architectural or other value. Brugge Foundation wants to use and reuse this heritage in a modern way with maximum respect for the city's character and for 'the spirit of the place' of the heritage site.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
