Located near Ghent, Laarne Castle is a sublime 14th-century castle and is considered one of the best preserved fortified castles in Flanders. It was protected as a monument during the Second World War and underwent a thorough restoration in the 1960s, including the gatehouse and pavilions. In 1996 the castle received the prestigious Europa Nostra Prize for its exceptional restoration project. The castle has been open to the public for more than half a century, and is furnished with authentic 17th-century furniture, tapestries, paintings, an extensive weapon collection and beautiful silverware.

This amazing palace has roots that date back to the 11th or 12th century. The current structure though was build in the 17th century. It was fully restored in the 1960s and is now a museum. It's definetly one of the more beautiful castles that you can find in the provence of East Flanders and definetly worth a visit.

Little fact; the original inhabitants of the castle always left the castle through the large entrance gate towards the village of Laarne. They always came back through the gate at the back. In this way the inhabitants of Laarne only saw the lord of the castle leave.
