The inside story
Perched between St Bavos Cathedral and St Nicholas' Church, the Belfry of Ghent holds a special place in the community's heart. Also known as 'Belfort van Gent', the 14th-century tower has served as Ghent's defender and silent guardian ever since. For centuries this building has resisted wars, political crises, famines and plagues alongside the town's trusty mascot – the Gilded Copper Dragon –.
Medieval stone-built facades and barbed turrets embellish the bell tower making this gothic spire a masterpiece in its own league. The Belfry of Ghent is accessible to the public. After climbing up the tower's steps, visitors will be rewarded with eye-catching views of the city and romantic settings, ideal for anyone looking to take those Instagram-worthy pictures.
