As it stood in 1905
What Museum van het Heilig Bloed looked like in its prime.
A compact two-storey stone chapel fronting a cobbled square, dominated by a late Gothic / Renaissance external staircase and balustrade with gilded statues set into niches. Grey limestone façades, pointed arched doorways and traceried windows with leaded glass occupy the upper storey; carved medallions and niches punctuate the lower. The upper chapel sits behind an ornate parapet; the stone is weathered but richly modelled, with a small lamp‑post and cobbles in the foreground.
