Dieses wichtige Wahrzeichen in Gent ist eine Burg mit einer sehr bewegten Geschichte, die eng mit der komplexen und oft turbulenten politischen und sozialen Stadtgeschichte verbunden ist. Es ist die einzige erhalten gebliebene mittelalterliche Wasserburg mit einem nahezu vollständig intakten Verteidigungssystem in Flandern. Bei Ihrem Besuch der Grafenburg wird Ihnen ein vollständiges Bild der Ritterkultur des 12. Jahrhunderts vermittelt. Das Torgebäude, die Stadtmauer, der Donjon, die gräfliche Residenz und die Stallungen sind für Besucher zugänglich. <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--text paragraph--view-mode--full"> <div class="field field--name-field-heading field--type-heading field--label-hidden field__item"><h2>Spannend: die Folterwerkzeuge der Grafenburg</h2> </div> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-field-text field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field__item"><p><span><span><span><span lang="DE"><span><span>In der Grafenburg findet man eine einzigartige Sammlung von Folterwerkzeugen. </span></span></span><span lang="DE"><span><span>In der ehemaligen Vorratskammer sind die Folterwerkzeuge untergebracht, die in einem suggestiven „Kabinett des Henkers“ ausgestellt werden.

• 1588 articleBody "Een bezoek aan de mystieke burcht ‘Het Gravensteen’ kan niet ontbreken op je to-dolijst tijdens je stedentrip in Gent. Deze belangrijke bezienswaardigheid in Gent is een burcht met een zeer bewogen geschiedenis, nauw verweven met de complexe en vaak woelige politieke en sociale historiek van de stad. Het is de enige overgebleven middeleeuwse waterburcht met een vrijwel intact verdedigingssysteem in Vlaanderen. Je bezoek aan het Gravensteen geeft je een volledig beeld van de riddercultuur in de 12de eeuw. Het poortgebouw, de walmuur, de donjon, de grafelijke residentie en de paardenstallen zijn toegankelijk voor bezoekers. <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--text paragraph--view-mode--full"> <div class="field field--name-field-heading field--type-heading field--label-hidden field__item"><h2>De Gravensteen-foltertuigen, akelig interessant </h2> </div> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-field-text field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field__item"><p><span><span><span><span><span>In het Gravensteen vind je een unieke verzameling foltertuigen. </span></span><span><span>De vroegere voorraadkamer herbergt de foltertuigen die er worden tentoongesteld in een suggestief ‘kabinet van de beul’.
