De Drie Koningen - ST-JAN

Already in the 14th century, 'De Drie Koningen' was one of the 'guest houses' where visitors could stay overnight. Since 1995 this tradition of hospitality can be found here again. Today you will find 6 spacious and very comfortable holiday homes at this location, named 'De Drie Koningen'. They all have the same level of comfort with a spacious living room, fitted kitchen, 1 to 2 bathrooms with bath or walk-in shower, 1 to 4 bedrooms, etc ... They are spread over 3 buildings: Twijnstraat 13: the building dates from the 14th century. The medieval aspect has unfortunately disappeared because it was thoroughly renovated in 1839 in the spirit of that time: a large mansion in neoclassical style. In 1997 the building was divided into 3 apartments: St-Donaas on the ground floor, St-Niklaas on the first floor and St-Jacob on the second floor. In 2002, the basement "De Vergulde Fontein" was completely excavated. The history of 'De Drie Koningen' came to light and one of the most beautiful 14th century cellars in Bruges was finally exposed. In this magnificent cellar you can attend now beer tastings, small events and Argentinian tango classes. From 2016 onwards, the apartments were once again renovated one by one in order to comply with the imposed safety regulations and the contemporary wishes of the visitors. Twijnstraat 15: this is where we live Twijnstraat 17: was originally part of a former notary's house from the 17th century in the Ridderstraat. At the beginning of the 20th century it became a private hospital with a doctor's practice until 1999. During the renovation in 2001 all outbuildings were demolished and a patio was created. This beautifully enclosed communal city garden (including a small swimming pool) gives access to 3 different apartments: "St-Jan" on the ground floor, "Onze-Lieve-Vrouw" above the former coach house and "Carmers" on the second floor. From 2017 onwards, the apartments were renovated for the last time. A 'home away from home' for a pleasant holiday with friends or family. The apartment St-Jan with its 175 m2 is the largest apartment of 'De Drie Koningen'. It was last renovated in 2018. It is a duplex apartment with a spacious living room with dining and sitting area and an open kitchen on the ground floor. The kitchen with cooking island contains every comfort: induction hob, fridge with freezer compartment, oven and microwave, dishwasher, ... In the summer you can fully enjoy this apartment because it has direct access to a terrace adjoining the communal courtyard with swimming pool. On the second floor there are 4 bedrooms (2 queen-size beds and 2x2 single beds) and 2 bathrooms: one with a walk-in shower and one with a bath and a walk-in shower.
