The Jerusalem Church (Jeruzalemkerk), one of Bruges’ most distinct churches, stands as part of the Adornes Estate, constructed by a wealthy merchant family 600 years ago and still maintained by their descendants.

Visitors can explore its unique design, which reflects the historical and cultural ties between Bruges and the Holy Land. The church’s enduring presence offers a glimpse into the medieval heritage and the lasting legacy of the Adornes family.
