Manor of the Brugse Vrije

View of the remaining parts of the former manor of the Brugse Vrije, as seen from the banks of the Groenerei (Green Canal), featuring pointed towers and gables, with the belfry rising prominently in the background. Tall, slender trees stand on the left, casting shadows on the path and the wall of the manor. In the foreground, a woman wearing a bonnet and a long dress carries water along the bank.

The Brugse Vrije was an administrative jurisdiction that encompassed a rich agricultural area and developed separately from Bruges itself, although it retained its seat in the city.

The caption reads in the original French: Vue du palais du Franc.
