This simple Gothic hall church, built at the beginning of the 17th century, surprises with its rich Baroque interior. The furnishing was made possible by donations from wealthy citizens of Bruges. Admire the marble rood screen, oak paneling with built-in confessionals, paintings by Jan Garemijn and the largest painting in Bruges.

Saint Anna is the mother of the Blessed Mother Mary - not attested in the biblical texts - and the grandmother of Jesus Christ. However, it is mentioned in apocryphal (i.e. not included in the canon of the Bible) writings, for example in the so-called “Protoevangelium of James”. There is no historically reliable information about Anna's life, but there are numerous traditional stories, which are summarized, for example, in the medieval "Legenda Aurea" by the Dominican monk Jacobus de Voragine. Among other things, she is the patron of the St. Anna Church in Düren (North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany), where a piece of her skull is kept as a relic.

In the church calendar, Saint Anna's memorial day - together with her husband Joachim - is on July 26th.
