Photographer’s Note
I thought I've photographed a church next to "the Minnewater" (translation: water of love), somewhere in the centre of Brugge.
Thanks to Hendrik/"hdl", I now know it's the medieval St. John's hospital, one of the oldest still existing hospitals in Europe. In 1978 it lost its function as hospital and harbors now the Memling museum, the hospital museum and the old pharmacy.

Hi Henri. In fact it is not a church but a hospital (the Sint-Jan Hospital). I know the place well and I know that it is quite narrow and difficult (read: impossible) to have the entire structure in the shot. Thanks for your visit to Bruges and for sharing this nice picture.
