Gravensteen 🇧🇪

#summerdestinations During my summer vacation, I had the chance to visit Gravensteen Castle in Ghent, and it was an unforgettable experience! 🏰 Located in the heart of the city, the entrance fee is around €12, which includes access to the castle's various exhibits and the impressive battlements. Gravensteen, also known as the Castle of the Counts, offers a fascinating journey through medieval history. The castle is remarkably well-preserved, and walking through its halls and towers felt like stepping back in time. Highlights included the medieval weaponry display, the torture chamber (which was both eerie and educational), and the panoramic views from the ramparts. 🗡️🔭 After exploring the castle, I wandered around Ghent's city center. The nearby Gravensteen Museum and the picturesque canals are perfect for a relaxed afternoon. I also enjoyed a leisurely lunch at one of the local cafes, savoring some Belgian specialties. 🍻🚶♂️ Overall, Gravensteen is a must-visit for history buffs and anyone interested in medieval architecture. It’s a great way to immerse yourself in the rich past of Ghent while enjoying the beautiful surroundings. #trip #gravensteen #ghent #medievalcastle #travelreview #historicallandmarks
