Super sweetly received and drank the tastiest late macchiato in northern Netherlands ?

Gun turret could be viewed inside, but can be seen in about a minute. The gardens look neatly planted. Then in the tearoom less pleasant experience with a snarling managerial employee, I would not recommend the place because of this - we did not feel welcome

Regularly some cyclists or walkers who pass here. An oasis of peace. After viewing the old gun tower (you'll soon be done with that), we also walked through the historic herb garden. All beautifully in bloom in mid-June. We couldn't skip the terrace at the tearoom. Fortunately not only tea here .... The cup of coffee with apple pie tasted great. It also looks nice inside.

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.
