Today the tower is owned by the municipality and is open to the general public. You can even climb it. That is absolutely worth it, because the 360° panorama that you admire up there gives you a unique view of the entire region.
At the bottom you will find an exhibition entitled The Secrets of the Count's Castle. You will discover prints, maps and a 3D reconstruction of the former Gravenburcht in its natural habitat.

The last witness is a remnant of the centuries-old Graventoren.
It was once a military bastion here. Now it's time to enjoy yourself here and sniff out history with some imagination.
The Graventoren was part of a moated castle from the 12th century.
The moated castle was built on behalf of the Counts of Flanders.
Executions and prison sentences were carried out here over the centuries. Mercator was also imprisoned here on charges of heresy.
The castle subsequently served as a military fortress until 1748. However, the castle was severely damaged and never repaired. The rubble was not cleared until 1817. The Castle Ruins can only be visited by appointment.

This part of Rupelmonde feels like you are abroad.
You have the Graventoren and the Tide Mill and nice cafes and terraces!
