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.
