Help improve Atlas Obscura by expanding Smallest Gothic Window in Bruges with additional information or photos.

When you cross the picturesque Bonifacius Bridge heading West, look up to your right, where you’ll see a teeny tiny stained glass window set in the wall of the Gruuthusemuseum. Though there is not much specific information available from the museum, it’s been called the smallest window in Bruges, the smallest Gothic window in Europe, and the smallest Gothic window in the world. Either way, it’s adorable!
