Neighboring villages are Warnsdorf in the northeast, Halenbeck in the east, Rohlsdorf in the southeast, Rapshagen and Gerdshagen in the southwest, Struck in the west and Penzlin-Süd in the northwest. The river Kümmernitz has its source to the west of Bruges .

history

The round village was first mentioned in a document in 1325 as Brugke . The place name is a transfer of the name from Bruges , a current part of the Westphalian municipality of Lüdenscheid , and thus points to settlers from this region who settled there in the course of the Wendekreuzzug in the 12th century. The place belonged to the rule of Meyenburg as early as 1325 and later to the independent manors Gerdshagen and Penzlin . During the Thirty Years War , Bruges was almost completely depopulated. In 1697 the existence of a half-timbered church in Bruges can be proven, which however had to be demolished in the 19th century due to dilapidation. From 1817 Bruges belonged to the Ostprignitz district in the Prussian province of Brandenburg . In the course of the 19th century, the Gerdshagen manor completely lost its possessions at the place to the Penzlin manor, which held the lordship of Bruges until 1872. Today's village church was built in 1864.

On July 25, 1952, the district of Ostprignitz was dissolved and the municipality of Bruges from then on belonged to the district of Pritzwalk in the GDR district of Potsdam . On August 18, 1962, Bruges was incorporated into Halenbeck . After reunification , Bruges was still in the Pritzwalk district for three years , and since then the place has belonged to the Prignitz district . The municipality of Halenbeck merged with Rohlsdorf on December 31, 2001 to form the new municipality of Halenbeck-Rohlsdorf . Bruges then belonged to the district of Halenbeck as an inhabited part of the municipality, until it was also downgraded to an inhabited part of the municipality on June 4, 2004.

Village church

The village church of Bruges , which is also called Persiuskirche after its architect Reinhold Persius , was built in the neo-Gothic style in 1864. The church is a field stone building with a towering west tower. The entrance portal is on the west side of the tower. The organ of the church was built by Wilhelm Heerwagen from Klosterhäseler near Naumburg and inaugurated in 1870. Between 2005 and 2007, the church, which had since fallen into ruin, was renovated. In 2015 the church was awarded the Brandenburg Monument Preservation Prize.
