Najboljši čas za obisk

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.

Nasveti za proračun

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.

Priporočeno za

History buffs, Families, Photography enthusiasts, Architecture lovers

O znamenitosti

Hitre informacije: Stoječ tik ob reki Leie je mogočni kamniti stolp služil tako kot utrjeni mestni vhod kot tudi kot zapornica, ki je uravnavala tok reke v srednjeveško mesto. Stoletja pozneje je desetletja služil kot zapor, nato pa kot socialno stanovanje, saj so družine v njegovih debelih zidovih živele do sedemdesetih let.

Poudarki: Pokukajte skozi železno rešetko na dnu stolpa in videli boste prava vodna vrata, utrjeno odprtino, ki so jo lahko zaprli, da sovražne ladje ne bi zdrsnile v mesto po reki Leie. Pozneje je isti mračni prostor gostil zapornike iz 19. stoletja, do šestdesetih let pa so družine z nizkimi dohodki tukaj vzgajale otroke in plezale po spiralnih stopnicah med starimi celicami.

Notranji nasveti

  • 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.
