EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the imposing and historic Chateau des Comtes de Flandre, or Castle of the Counts of Flanders, located in the heart of Ghent, Belgium. Dating back to the 12th century, this magnificent fortress stands proudly overlooking the city, its ancient walls and towers reflecting the rich history and cultural heritage of Flanders. The castle, which was built around 1180, is surrounded by a moat that once served as a protective barrier against invading forces. The castle's impressive buttresses, visible in this image, were added in the late 13th or early 14th century to strengthen the structure and provide additional support. The Chateau des Comtes de Flandre is a testament to the power and wealth of the Counts of Flanders, who ruled the region during the Middle Ages. The castle's battlements and towers were designed to inspire awe and intimidate enemies, and they continue to do so today, drawing visitors from around the world who come to explore the castle's history and learn about the region's fascinating past. This photograph, taken circa 1919, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era of knights, castles, and medieval splendor. The Castle of the Counts of Flanders remains an important cultural landmark in Ghent and a symbol of the region's rich history and enduring legacy.
