Hjärnarp Church

Ängelholm, Sweden

Neo-classical Hjärnarp stone church built in 1842-1843, replacing a 12th century church. Some of the inventory from the old church has been preserved: a 13th Century Baptismal font, a 17th century brass basin, and a pulpit from 1619. During restoration work in 1957, a fresco by Per Siegård, "Jesus' Passion Week", was added.

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.
