The Bisdomplein is largely located on the former Sint-Janskerkhof, initially so-called "Wijden Aard" den Sint-Baafsplein and finally called Bisdomplaats and Bisdomplein, together with the construction of the episcopal palace, which occupied a large part of the square .

Palace of Spiritual Power
In 1840 it was decided to build a new residence on the east side of St Bavo's Cathedral. The radiating white palace houses the administrative services of the diocese. This is also the residence of the bishop.

Construction of the Bishop's Palace started in 1843 and was completed two years later. Above the main entrance door is the coat of arms of the Builder, Bishop Louis Joseph Delbecque.
