Bruges' many mysteries and legends are woven into the very fabric of the city. Take the fabled Minnewater Lake, also known as the "Lake of Love." Legend has it that a fair maiden named Minna fell in love with a warrior of a rival tribe and ran away. She died of exhaustion in the very spot where the lake is now, and her lover dug the lake as her grave. They say her spirit still lingers, making this one of the most romantic – and eerie – spots in Bruges. Or consider the Church of Our Lady, its towering spire piercing the sky. Here you'll discover a captivating tale of a rival architect so envious of the church's beauty that he climbed to the top and, realizing he could never surpass such beauty, threw himself off the tower. Stories like these infuse the city with a sense of intrigue that begs further exploration.
