Such an amazing stay right next to the Gravesteen. Once you’ve went through the tour and listened to the audio guide, you can appreciate so much of what a historical monument you’re staying near.
The kitchen and bedroom opens up to the donning castle, and on rainy days, leave the lights off and open the curtains, and just listen and watch. Watch the daily lives of the people, and imagine what it was like for Count Philip during the 1100s, the way his stone castle stood in the night as he worked away in his study, while his wife waited for him in her chambers only for him to never visit.
Thoroughly enjoyed this tour, and the Airbnb for allowing us the pleasure to overlook the castle from the comfort of our chairs. Cheers to Belgium ❤️
