Red-brick Gothic buildings line the River Reie in central Bruges, Belgium. The canal-facing facades have crenellated rooflines, arched windows with red-painted frames, and pale stone bases at water level, while slender spires and turrets rise above the roofs. The buildings form part of Bruges’ historic canal district in the UNESCO-listed old town.
