Jan-Van-Eyck-Plads - Brygge

Source: Willem Vandenameele

Description

Spejlrækken var i senmiddelalderen centrum for handelen i Brugge.

Oprindeligt var der ingen plads i sigte, men kanalen løb gennem den, med en bro over, der bar navnet Sint-Jansbrug eller også Nyårsbro, da der på broen fandt en marked med slik og legetøj til børn sted ved nytår. I 1787 blev kanalen på dette sted overdækket og Sint-Jansbrug revet ned. Dette skabte en plads, der i første omgang fortsat bar navnet Sint-Jansbrug.

I den franske tid vandt navnet „Academieplaetse“ gradvist indpas, opkaldt efter tegne- og malerakademiet, som lå i Poortersloge. I 1844 indførte byrådet navnet „Jan van Eyckplaats“ som en hyldest til maleren Jan van Eyck, som her fik en marmorstatue givet i 1856.

Indtil Første Verdenskrig var pladsen kendt af bruggere som Petattenmarkt, da der her fandt et ugentligt kartoffelmarked sted.
