This is old castle in Gent is the "Castle of the Counts". It has been repaired a lot but that's because it was originally built in 868!! 
Tomorrow - the torture chamber!!

It makes you wonder how they could have made so much detail without the machinery that we have today, and yet most of todays buildings have no character and are straight in design and boring.

Lorna,
I know I'm not family...so I hope you don't mind me commenting. I have SO enjoyed reading all of your posts about the search for the family house. I so would love to go and search for my ancestors birthplaces someday. Thanks for letting me visit vicariously through your blog :c).
