    The Rabot is an iconic medieval building in Ghent. The name Rabot refers to the fortified lock over the Lieve. It was built in 1489 on the place where the Lieve reached the walls of the city. Over the years, the name has been transferred to the towers that had to defend this castle.



    The fortified structure, built in Balegem stone, consists of two thick round towers connected by a rectangular building over the Lieve. It allowed navigation on this watercourse to be hindered by means of a portcullis.



    In the second half of the 19th century, all the city gates of the old city wall were demolished, except for one: the monumental turrets of the Rabot.
