Near to Gravensteen castle

Massive walls, moats, a dungeon, a crypt, and oubliettes - everything is there. Welcome to the Château des Comtes (de Flandre) (castle of the counts of Flanders) of course. This magnificent building in Ghent recalls their strength and the strategic role of Flanders in the feudal period, between the kingdom of France and the Germanic Holy Roman Empire.

From the basement to the dungeon (superb view over the city) this very comprehensivevisit will make you go back in time.
