Hof Sebrechts (Bruges)

Belgium / West-Flandern / Brugge / Bruges / Oude Zak, 44

(Stadspark Prof. Dr. J. Sebrechts)
In the 15th century this was a convent kitchen garden. At the end of the 19th century this was the home of the city archivist. He reshaped the park. Later on a renowned surgeon from Bruges became proprietor of the domain; his gardener tended the park for 26 years. He grew chicory, grapes and melons and laid out colourful flower mosaics. In 1958 the Ministry of Finance was housed here. In 1980 the park became property of the city and was renovated.
