Gravensteen

And you will see that there are lots of older buildings.

Nearby is the Castle of the Counts, also known as Gravenstein Castle.

This is my family castle.

I've recently researched into my Belgian family and why many, many times grandfather was Count Baldwin II.

Eloise's recommendation: visit the castle in Ghent.

The castle she's defending, by the way, is Gravensteen, a stone crusaders fortress with a literal moat right in the middle of the city.

On the should we skip the moat castle for the pretty canals debate, Eloise has chosen the castle, and honestly, good for her.

So I'm honestly not a fan of this cruise.
