This chapel contains a phial that reputedly contains Christ's blood brought back from the Crusades.
This is a beautiful Basilica that comprises two level churches. It is snugly located in a corner of Burg Square, the Basilica of the Holy Blood consists of a Romanesque lower chapel and a Gothic upper chapel The lower level church, a dark Romanesque structure, is so beautiful and has amazing statues of Jesus and the Virgin Mary. The upper level church, connected by staircase, is amazing with modern and gothic style, houses the Relic of the Holy Blood. We were so lucky to visit on a Sunday morning when they held a mass and the Relic was on display afterwards for visitors to see it and get the blessings.

400m walk away from the hustle and bustle of the city center. Beautiful interior with white marble pillars.

You are not allowed entrance into the area without setting up an appointment first. Anyway, defintely worth to visit the place that makes "the best beer in the world", and enjoy the Westvleteren beers at the nearby restaurant "In de Vrede". A must visit when in Belgium.

I visited here and what a beautiful and very special place this is. There are limited opening times and if you do visit, you will find this one of the most undiscovered places on earth. I was treated to a tour by sister Frances (I did visit some time ago do sorry for the delay) and given a tour. Thank you for your kindness. I found out so many interesting facts, but I won’t spoil the fun of your own discoveries. I can say there are only a few nuns left and I was taken into the domed church and we did sing in there. In the 70s it was a B&B and I do know someone who visited there which is do quaint. It is absolutely stunning! Do take the time to stop by and discover what an incredible building this is. I must also visit again one day.
