One of the many towers of the old city wall. There is actually a little chapel inside of the tower, which costs 1 Gel to visit.

The "oude stadstoren" (old city tower) to which the original name of this highlight referred is the tower of the Sint-Joris (Saint George) Basilica. The basilica was built in the 19th century and leans almost against the old city wall. The round bell tower, which stands separately from the church and on the city wall, has an arched pergola.
During my visit, the church and tower were not accessible.
