Het Zwin (Golden Inlet), the tidal inlet of Bruges, was crucial to the development of local commerce and the city's prosperity. Starting around 1500, the Zwin channel began silting up and the Golden Era of Bruges and Flanders as a whole ended. The city soon fell behind Antwerp as the economic flagship of the Low Countries.
