Sint-Salvatorskathedraal
Gothic parish church elevated to cathedral, filled with art saved from a demolished sister church.
This guide to Sint-Salvatorskathedraal in Bruges centers on a small painted portrait of Charles the Good, count of Flanders, who was murdered while giving alms inside a different cathedral, Saint Donatian's, on the second of March, 1127. It follows the Erembald family behind that killing, wealthy grain hoarders with a secret about their own ancestry, and the centuries Saint Donatian's stood as the city's true cathedral. You'll hear what happened to that older cathedral during the French Revolution, and how its scattered treasures, including that count's portrait, found their way here. Take a moment in front of his small panel before moving on.
