The building maintains many of its original architectural features, including ornate plasterwork and a grand staircase.

The Concertgebouw Bruges is renowned for its excellent acoustics and hosts a diverse program of classical music, jazz, world music, and contemporary performances. It plays an important role in the artistic life of Bruges and the wider West Flanders region, attracting both national and international artists. The hall's capacity is approximately 900 seats offering an intimate concert experience compared to larger venues.
