Private castle with most parts private. Still pretty.

Castle not open to the public, but the car museum is definitely worth stopping your journey to go see. Petrolheads who have not been yet need to visit, everyone will learn things they didn't know before - the size of some of these beasties has to be experienced live. You will see that electric cars/carriages are not a recent invention, the steam cars that were created after the fuel shortages of WW1, the origins of Audi, and some the model collection - including the aircraft that adorn the ceiling in the museum are worth an exhibition on their own.

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.
