Najbolje vreme za posetu

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.

Saveti za budžet

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.

Preporučeno za

History buffs, Families, Photography enthusiasts, Architecture lovers

O atrakciji

Brze činjenice: Smeštena odmah na reci Leji, masivna kamena kula služila je i kao utvrđena kapija i kao ustava koja je kontrolisala tok reke u srednjovekovni grad. Vekovima kasnije decenijama je služila kao zatvor, a zatim kao socijalno stanovanje, sa porodicama koje su živele unutar njenih debelih zidova sve do 1970-ih.

Istaknuto: Zavirite kroz gvozdenu rešetku u podnožju kule i ugledaćete pravu vodenu kapiju, utvrđeni otvor koji je mogao da se zalupi kako bi sprečio neprijateljske brodove da se rekom Lejom uvuku u grad. Kasnije je ista sumorna prostorija držala zatvorenike iz 19. veka, a do 1960-ih su porodice sa niskim primanjima ovde odgajale decu, verući se uz spiralno stepenište između starih ćelija.

Insajderski saveti

  • 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.
