Our Lady of the Pottery (O.L.V.-ter-Potterie)

The Our Lady of the Pottery (Onze-Lieve-Vrouw-Ter-Potterie) served already in the 13th century as a hospital, when the nuns cared for pilgrims, travellers and the sick here. Nowadays, the historic infirmary and convent are home to numerous works of art, religious artefacts and medical instruments from many centuries of care.

The adjacent church, with its Baroque interior, is also worth a visit. On the altar stands a 13th century ‘miracle’ statue, one of the oldest in Bruges.
