Gravensteen: A tiny gem in Gent

#europetravel The Gravensteen (Castle of the Counts) is a medieval castle in the city of Ghent in Belgium. It is a relatively small castle, compared with other European castles, but it is definitely worth visiting if you go to Gent, especially with children. It has typical castle features: charming corridors, narrow tower stairs, and high rooms. It is special because of its location: it is located in the centre of the old town of Ghent. When you climb up to the high towers you can enjoy the stunning view of the old town of Gent. It is also surrounded by water and easily be viewed from the Leie River in the old town, where the nicest medieval buildings are located. The exhibition is well-designed for kids and they would be amused with the stories behind the castle. #heritage #gravensteen #gent #belgium
