"Het Gravensteen" is a castle of the Middle Ages, and as the name says, the castle of the count of Flanders, expressing his power over the city of Ghent. Ghent has been a reblious city.
In the 14th century, Ghent was the 2nd largest city of the North West of Europe (after Paris).
It still has many buildings from that period.
The Gravensteen is great to visit and has some armour and weapons of the 15th century.
