Belgium🇧🇪An ancient castle in a modern city🏰

The Count's Castle in Ghent, Belgium 🔹This moated castle was built in 1180 AD. Originally in Roman times, wooden walls and fortresses were built here. Later in the Middle Ages, the Count of Flanders built a castle here with stones. At that time, stone buildings were used to highlight one's wealth and power. 🔸After countless changes through the ages, the castle is still as majestic as ever! It blends in with the modern city without any strong sense of disobedience. Instead, it adds an avant-garde sense of the times. The castle can be visited inside, and the ticket price is 13 euros. #Belgium #Ghent #castle
