Ships have been mooring here since the 11th century and Ghent wouldn't have it any other way. It's like the Lorelei's song. The beauty of the Graslei in Ghent brings everything and everyone to a standstill. This is the place where beautiful facades are reflected in the Leie.

Gravensteen
Gravensteen
Historical landmark
11 kms
A trip to Ghent is simply not complete without a visit to the mysterious 'Gravenburcht". This important attraction in Ghent is a castle with a very turbulent past, closely intertwined with the complex - often stormy - political and social history of the city. It is the only remaining medieval castle with a moat and a largely intact defense system in Flanders. Your visit to the Gravenkasteel will give you a complete picture of the heraldic culture in the 12th century. The gatehouse, the ramparts, the keep, the count's residence and the stables are open to visitors.

We started LMS Brandz because we saw a need in the promotional product market for a better, more personalized experience for the customer. There are a lot of promo companies out there to choose from, but it’s not always about the cheapest price or the fastest turnaround time (although we pride ourselves in “making it happen” for the client). For us, it comes down to generating promotional strategies that work, earning our clients’ trust, and providing excellent customer service .
