Almshouses (Godshuis) De Meulenare, Bruges, Belgium

One of the beautiful Almshouses that enrich the medieval city of Bruges. These charitable dwellings were built from the 14th century onwards. They were sometimes set up by guilds and widows or well-to-do citizens who wanted to ensure their place in heaven.
