Daily Life In Bruges
Gilded statues adorn the Old Civil Registry building at the Burg Square in the city of Bruges (Brugge) in Belgium, Europe. The Old Civil Registry is one of the oldest Renaissance buildings in Flanders and was completed in 1537 and housed the Civil Registrar, who was one of the most important city officials. The facade is made entirely from natural stone and is richly decorated with carvings. The statues date from 1883 and are the work of the Bruges sculptor Hendrik Pickery.
