In the heart of the historic centre of Ghent, Belgium stands the 800-year old Castle of the Counts (Gravensteen). The Counts of Flanders used to rule from this fortress.

In the immediate surroundings of this famous landmark lies Hotel Gravensteen. The 19th century mansion has been completely renovated to reflect its original Second Empire style.

Ghent, the capital of the East Flanders province, is listed as one of Europe’s most beautiful historic cities.
