Lonely Planet review for Gravensteen
The counts of Flanders wielded their power from Ghent's 12th-century castle in the centre of town. Rising up out of the water, its square-cut towers and ramparts are the stuff of storybooks. To get a feel for its slings-and-arrows history, rent the evocative multimedia guide (around €3).
