Historical monument at the foot of the Ciron at the Trave bridge

Very beautiful place overlooking the Ciron. When the sun is out, the shine of the stones shimmers around the wildlife. It lacks the historical documentation of the place, it is a pity. Explanatory panels would be welcome. Parking nearby. Possibility of getting to the edge of Ciron by stairs, holding hands with young children. Accessible to everyone.

For lovers of old stones, a peaceful place on the edge of the Ciron.

Magnificent romantic ruins. This place dear to Léo Drouyn has lost none of its beauty, and is located in a relatively peaceful setting with a pretty view.

Gravensteen

The Gravensteen is a castle in Ghent originating from the Middle Ages. The name means 'castle of the counts' in Dutch. Arnulf I (918–965), Count of Flanders, was the first to fortify this place, building a medieval bastion on this high sand dune, naturally protected by the river Leie and its marshy banks. This bastion consisted of a central wooden building and several surrounding buildings, also in wood.

In the early 11th century, the wooden building was replaced by a stone residence, consisting of three large halls that made up three storeys, connected by a stone stairwell. The monumental stone staircase, the light openings, the fireplaces built into the walls and the latrines were signs of considerable luxury and comfort in those days. There was probably also a tower.
