I went to church with my cousin. She is so helpful in making sure it's nice where my beloved Dad and Mom lie. And my cousin's son unfortunately lies there a little way away There have been baptisms, weddings. Funerals. And the priests who worked there, have both baptized, confirmed, solemnized and funerals.

Very nice road paintings from the 15th century although they are restored in the early 20th century. An interesting church with nice details including a medieval wooden cabinet.

If they think there should be a bin by the memorial grove, you can throw away all the withered flowers that are there.

A quite small yet marvelous church, gorgeous interiors and a literally huge graveyard.

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.
