AROUND THE APARTMENT

Vergulde Fontein

Hidden treasure

Beneath the quiet charm of Bruges’ Twijnstraat lies a secret — De Vergulde Fontein, a 14th-century cellar with soul. Once forgotten and rediscovered through archaeological research, this vaulted space breathes history through every stone. Protected as architectural heritage and restored with care, it invites visitors into a world where time seems to pause.

With its Gothic arches, medieval candle niches, and centuries-old ambiance, De Vergulde Fontein offers a setting unlike any other in Bruges — quiet, grounding, and deeply atmospheric. It’s not just a place to visit, but a place to be.

Experiences

Today, De Vergulde Fontein opens its doors for carefully curated experiences that honor the spirit of the space — slow, intimate, and meaningful. These gatherings are not about spectacle, but about connection — to self, to others, and to the deeper rhythm of the city.

Here’s what you might encounter beneath the vaults:

  • Yoga and mindful movement, held in stillness and stone
  • Storytelling and intimate concerts, where sound resonates deeply
  • Workshops and creative sessions that draw inspiration from the layered history
  • Community gatherings or small-scale rituals, grounded in simplicity and presence

 

This is Bruges experienced from the inside out — not through checklists, but through emotion, attention, and memory. Whether you’re hosting or participating, De Vergulde Fontein offers a space that encourages slowing down, listening, and creating with intention.

UNIQUE EXPERIENCES

Beertasting

Dive into the rich beer culture of Bruges with an exclusive tasting led by a true local expert — the former owner of the iconic De Drie Koningen. With decades of hands-on experience and deep knowledge of the brewing process, he’ll guide you through a selection of unique and traditional Belgian beers, each with its own story.

Held in the atmospheric setting of a 14th-century cellar, once the commercial heart of the Bruges inner city, this tasting is more than just sipping — it’s a journey into the history, craftsmanship, and culture behind Belgium’s most iconic drink.

Expect lively anecdotes, brewing secrets, and a curated flight of unforgettable flavors. Whether you’re a seasoned beer lover or simply curious, this experience will give you a deeper appreciation of what makes Belgian beer world-renowned.

Available exclusively to our guests — a unique tasting not found anywhere else.

UNIQUE EXPERIENCES

Yoga Sound Bath

Discover a one-of-a-kind Yoga Bruges experience with an exclusive sound bath session held in a 14th-century cellar in the heart of the city. Once a bustling trading hub, this enchanting space now offers the perfect atmosphere for deep relaxation and renewal.

Surrounded by candlelight and ancient stone, you’ll begin with calming breathwork followed by a few gentle yoga exercises to help you loosen up and connect with your body. Then, lie back and allow healing vibrations to envelop you — from Tibetan singing bowls, the deep tones of the Venus gong, the shimmering crystal bowl, the Kigonki, and the soft chimes of the wind gong.

Feel free to bring your own mat and blanket for comfort. After the session, enjoy a warm cup of herbal tea and a light, nourishing snack.

Offered in partnership with Karmamarkt — available exclusively to our guests.
Please note: This experience must be booked at least one month in advance. Of course it can also take place at Karmamarkt (310 meters walking).
