The Frietmuseum is located in which Belgian city?

The Frietmuseum is located in Bruges, Belgium. The museum occupies the Saaihalle, a Gothic building at Vlamingstraat 33 in the historic centre of the city.

Bruges is one of Belgium’s best-known medieval cities, famous for its canals, preserved architecture, and UNESCO-listed historic centre. The Frietmuseum’s setting connects the modern story of fries with the city’s much older commercial and architectural history.

The Saaihalle was originally associated with the wool trade and dates from 1399. It was later used by Genoese merchants and served several other purposes, including an inn, café, cinema, and dance hall, before becoming a museum site.

Visitors sometimes confuse Bruges with Brussels or Ghent because all three are major Belgian tourist destinations. The museum, however, is specifically in Bruges, in West Flanders, rather than in the Belgian capital or the port city of Antwerp.
