In the 14th century the castle was abandoned by the counts of Flanders. After it was used as a courthouse and a prison the castle decayed. In 1885 the city of Ghent purchased the castle and renovated it completely.

The castle is really beautiful. Great thing that the gov"t was able to rehabilitate the castle. Now its more beautiful and used for a tourist attraction. Good thing I was able to crawl your post, for I'm really looking for old castle that I can used for my blog. Thanks for sharing.
