The chapel of the Holy Blood is actually a double chapel which can be visited on the 'Burg' square in Bruges. It was first constructed in the 12th century and promoted to the rank of Basilica in 1923. One can enter the church on the first floor where the Holy Blood is kept via the 'Steeghere' which is a beautifully decorated façade behind which a staircase leads to the first floor. The original façade was constructed in late-gothic and renaissance style in the 16th century. It was demolished in the aftermath of the French Revolution and later rebuild and slightly moved.The lower part is called the Basilius chapel. It has preserved its original Romanesque style from the 12th-13th century. On the left side of the choir is the former chapel of the clerks of the civil registry (1503) and on the right side one can see a statue of the Virgin from around 1300.
The church on the first floor is the actual chapel of the Holy Blood. The church itself was originally built in Romanesque style like the Basilius church on the ground floor. It was changed completely in gothic style in the 15th century and again in 1823. The mural decorations in the present church are from this second renovation in the 19th century. The original stained-glass windows have been removed after the French Revolution. Some of the original ones ended up in the Victoria and Albert museum in London. The copies which can be seen in the church today also date from the 19th century renovation. you can see a stained glass window detail
The silver altar is the place where the relic is preserved during the week. The relic is shown to the public every Friday and every day from the 3rd to the 17th of May.

Jesus this is nice,
The angle of the shot is very good, just between the two candles, the fantastic depth, the great colours, fantastic church interieur, good job

Buen disparo Jesus, y bonitos colores, aunque puede que la toma si hubiera sido un poco mas encuadrada, la alineacion con la viga de arriba mas en recto puede que hubiera sido mejor, tan solo es una opinion, pero esta muy bien tu foto anyway :p Well done !

I like the architecture.Great colors and good contrast between them.Good textures,light and sharpness.I like the point of view and the prespective.Well done!

hola, jesus, que tal;
you did a great job with this indoor shot; lignting and compo are perfect; the pic together with the note tell everything about the place; maybe central perspective would be better for this shot but anyhow i like it much

Nice interior shot! Very colourful...I'd love to visit Bruges!
