St Donatian's Church (Dutch: Sint-Donaaskerk) was built by Arnulf I, Count of Flanders, about 950, in order to house the relics of Saint Donatian that had been brought to Bruges about 870, by monks from Torhout, Flanders Built in the Romanesque architectural style, It had an octagonal main building with a tower and a sixteen-sided ambulatory. The building stood on the Burg square, across from the Stadhuis (city hall). It became a cathedral following the installation of the first Bishop of Bruges in 1562. St. Donatian's was destroyed in 1799 by occupying forces of the French First Republic. The former site of St Donatian's is now occupied by the Crowne Plaza Brugge Hotel. The foundations of the cathedral were uncovered in 1955, and are visible in the hotel's cellars.
