The BurgThe Burg, a public square just steps away from the Markt, holds an array of beautiful buildings, which together add up to a kind of trip through the history of European architecture. On this site, Baldwin Iron Arm, count of Flanders, once built a fortified castle (or "burg"), around which a village developed into Bruges. Other Sights Around the Burg -- The Oude Civiele Griffie (Old Civic Registry), built beside the Town Hall as the offices of the Town Clerk, has the oldest Renaissance facade in the city, dating from 1537, and now houses the city archives. Facing the Town Hall is the baroque Proosdij (Provost's House), dating from 1666, which used to be the residence of the bishop of Bruges and is now occupied by government offices of West Flanders province.
