Huis 't Schaep
About
Nestled in the historic heart of Bruges, Huis ‘t Schaep is a unique bed‑and‑breakfast that marries two 17th‑century dwellings into a single, charming home. The property’s original step gables have been preserved, while the 1850 conversion adds a dramatic Gothic Revival façade that gives the building its distinctive silhouette. Inside, guests can admire an authentic stained‑glass workshop annex, still housing the original Kilns used by the Coucke family who once crafted exquisite glass windows. A painted tile tableau – a vivid depiction of biblical scenes – offers a bold visual reminder of Bruges’ artisanal heritage. Situated a stone’s throw from the cathedral, cobblestone alleys, and a mix of boutique shops and cafés, this boutique retreat provides a warm, historic atmosphere while keeping modern comforts in mind. A stay at Huis ‘t Schaep feels like stepping back into Bruges’ storied past, yet with all the conveniences of contemporary living. The bed‑and‑breakfast prides itself on intimate, personalized service: from the moment you walk through the façade you are greeted by friendly hosts who share insider tips on Bruges’ hidden gems and local traditions. Whether it’s a leisurely Sunday brunch featuring freshly baked local pastries or a cozy evening sharing a glass of ex‑cellente Belgian beer, every aspect of your visit is thoughtfully curated to create a memorable stay.
