From this embankment, you can see Bruges in all its splendour. Near the basin stands the pretty House of the Tanneurs (Huidenvettershuis), which dates back to 1630 and is a fine example of civilian architecture. A house with a tower stands a little further on. Beyond that, you will see the high roof of the Chapel of the Holy Blood. To the left, the majestic, almost austere belfry dominates the city.
