Show MapA visit to the building alone is worth the trip. This large house is surprisingly tall.
Four floors were rare in Bruges houses in the 15th century. The building dates from approximately 1480. In the entrance hall, you can read about the complete history of the building as well as the story of chocolate in Bruges.
On the first floor, in room A, you will get to know the customs, beliefs and everyday lives of the Mayans and the Aztecs
and how they used cocoa as an offering to the Gods. On the second floor, in room C, you will learn about the cocoa tree and bean production. On the third floor in room D, Choco-Story explains why Belgian chocolate is so good, why chocolate is good for you and the history of Belgian producers. Below, on the ground floor, the visit ends with a demonstration and chocolate tasting.
