Mills
On the City Ramparts around St Anne's District, you will find 4 old windmills, of which Sint-Janshuis Mill is still open to the public. They illustrate Bruges' rich mill tradition.
The mill tradition in Bruges goes back to the 13th century. When the outer city walls were created, the mills were already there. For centuries, they were an important part of the booming economy. On Kruisvest, around St Anne's District, there are still 4 of these mills. The Sint-Janshuis Mill still grinds grain and is open to visitors.
