Ghent Is Challenging Antwerp as Belgium’s Capital of Cool | Vogue

"Once the residence of the Counts of Flanders until 1353, this imposing castle has since served as a court, prison, mint, and cotton mill, and today it functions as a major tourist attraction with restored rooms, landscaped grounds, and a quirky audio tour packed with tales from the past, embodying much of Ghent’s medieval character and layered history." - Lindsay Cohn
