Highlights
Castle of the Counts Ghent
The Gravensteen (literally "Castle of the Counts") is a medieval castle at Ghent, East Flanders in Belgium. The current castle dates from 1180 and was the residence of the Counts of Flanders until 1353. It was subsequently re-purposed as a court, prison, mint, and even as a cotton factory. It was restored over 1893–1903 and is now a museum and a major landmark in the city.
Ghent
Ghent is a port city in northwest Belgium, at the confluence of the Leie and Scheldt rivers. During the Middle Ages, it was a prominent city-state. Today it’s a university town and cultural hub. Its pedestrianized center is known for medieval architecture such as 12th-century Gravensteen castle and the Graslei, a row of guildhalls beside the Leie river harbor.
Ghent Town Hall
If you’re walking down the street and find yourself stepping over rice and rose petals, you’ve discovered Ghent Townhall (Stadhuis) where one gets married. The building is hard to miss, as the detailed, ornate Gothic style in which the building was originally built is in stark contrast to the clean lines of the plainer Renaissance style, which the building was completed in. Inside is equally interesting with wooden vaulted ceilings, stained glass windows, Wedding Chapel, a labyrinth, and more.
