history
Findings near the Sint-Lucas hospital (on display in the Gruuthuse Museum in Bruges) suggest that this region was already inhabited in the Stone Age. Aerial photos of the Meersen reveal an approximately 300 m wide ring of ditches and ramparts from the 5th century, where the Lords of Assebroek later built their castle.
Assebroek was independent until it was incorporated into Bruges in 1970.
