Join me in a walk through the city center of Ghent and discover some interesting spots. We'll navigate our way through interesting buildings as Saint Bavo's cathedral that houses the Ghent Altarpiece, the belfry with its dragon, the old harbor that dates from the middle ages and many more... We'll pass through a gigantic tradition of the 'Burgundian way of life' as chocolate and beer.

When you enter this beautiful church you cannot help being in awe of its height. They way it's been built makes it look like it's 4 storeys high. The massive ornately carved wooden pulpit is awesome. I preferred this church to St.Bavos Cathedral, I found it more majestic and less ornate yet the stainglass and organ were great. Part of the church that opens onto Korenmarkt was divided off and being used for a craft hall selling local artisan wares. Like all the main sites in Ghent right in the city centre.

Although building of the church started in 1440, it has suffered various setbacks, including partial destruction by the Calvinists in the 16th century, such that the tower on the west front appears somewhat dumpy, because it has never been finished. Inside is a fine brick interior, with fine stained glass and paintings, baroque sculpture and a fine organ. One of the jewels of the church is yet another of those wonderful sculptural pulpits that are found in many churches. The five central churches in Ghent are cared for by the Monumental Churches of Ghent (MKG) which aims to improve access to the heritage of these churches and ensure their enjoyment into the future.
