Very atmospheric with lights around the graves outside the church. It's extra nice when it's dark outside. The church is very beautiful inside with, among other things, a magnificent altarpiece and stately chandeliers, which hang down from the ceiling. The size of the church is just enough to hear what is said during services and masses.

Beautiful stone church in fantastic lakeside surroundings. The church is located along the winding village street with well-preserved houses from different ages. Well worth a visit

Wonderful old church. Serene environs by the lake side. Quite moods sets in spiritual thoughts and unwind you from all effects of modern day turmoils. Well maintained lawns, graves...make me feel to visit again...to be burried tooo

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.
