[QUOTE="Sam Hills, post: 3397858, member: 17876"]Not signed I went through various pictures of churches in Bruges and there it was..The Jerusalem Chapel in Bruges [USER=5718]@i need help[/USER], Very impressed! Thank you for the clue! I don’t think anyone can argue this isn’t the same chapel: The Jerusalem Chapel is the private chapel of the Adornes family, an Italian merchant family from Genoa. The chapel was consecrated in 1429 and was inspired by the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. The architecture, layout and extraordinary relics provide an exceptional illustration of the great reverence of the Adornes family for Jerusalem.
