    Gravensteen

    GhentBelgium1180

    The Gravensteen, or Castle of the Counts, is a formidable 12th-century fortress situated in the city center of Ghent, Belgium. Built by Count Philip of Alsace as a symbol of ducal authority, its dark history as a place of public executions, grim inquisitional torture, and judicial imprisonment has inspired centuries of haunting tales and dark tourism.
