Parim aeg külastamiseks

Visit on a sunny late afternoon in spring or summer, when low-angle light warms the red brick and the Leie mirrors the tower. Mornings are quietest, before the first school groups arrive.

Eelarvenõuanded

Entry is free, and wandering the cobbled square and quays around it costs nothing either. Combine it with a stroll along the Leie to the Dok Noord warehouses, and grab the Ghent City Card if you plan several paid sights in one day.

Soovitatav

History buffs, Families, Photography enthusiasts, Architecture lovers

Teave

Kiired faktid: Otse Leie jõe ääres asuv massiivne kivitorn toimis nii kindlustatud väravana kui ka vesilüüsina, mis kontrollis jõe voolu keskaegsesse linna. Sajandeid hiljem oli see aastakümneid vanglana ja seejärel sotsiaalmajana, kus pered elasid selle paksude müüride vahel kuni 1970. aastateni.

Esiletõstmised: Piilu läbi torni aluses oleva raudvõre ja näed tegelikku vesiväravat, kindlustatud avaust, mille sai pauguga kinni lüüa, et takistada vaenlase laevadel Leiel linna hiilimast. Hiljem hoiti samas sünges kambris 19. sajandi vange ja 1960. aastateks kasvatasid siin väiksema sissetulekuga pered lapsi, ronides mööda keerdtreppi vanade kambrite vahel.

Sisekujunduse nõuanded

  • Wear grippy shoes, the narrow spiral staircases up to the rooftop are steep and worn smooth.
  • Cross to the opposite riverbank at dusk to catch the round tower glowing against the water.
  • Check the city's cultural calendar, the venue rotates exhibitions, concerts, and kids' workshops through the year.
  • Picnic on the grassy slope beside the tower instead of paying tourist-core prices a few streets away.
