1491年にラボッツの建設が完了しました。強化された閘門は、リーフェ川と市の堀の交差点にありました。リーフェ川は、反対側で、まだ砂州になっていないズウィン川、さらに海へと接続していました。1860年に、街に向かうレンガ造りの翼が解体されました。1872年に、道路のレベルが上げられ、リーフェ川は閉鎖されました。その間、ヘントにはすでに長い間、海への他のアクセスがありました。

The Rabot is a fortified lock dating from 1491 with two imposing towers, built after the siege of Ghent. It gave its name to the Rabot district and is one of the city's most striking heritage sites.

Reminds me of times long past. Maybe something like Harry Potter🤔

Originally, this castle was the seat of the Lords of Lovendegem, initially the Van Lovendegem family, known from the 13th or 14th century. In 1462, the lordship passed to Philip the Good, who was also Count of Flanders. The castle's contents were sold by Emperor Charles V between 1550 and 1552, and ultimately, the lordship was sold to Knight Joos Triest. In 1700, it passed to Gillis Dons, who was elevated to baron in 1716 and changed the family name to Dons de Lovendeghem. The castle remained in the family's possession for centuries. In 1918, Baron I. Dons de Lovendeghem was murdered here. A memorial chapel has been erected at the site of the baron's murder. The actual castle was probably originally a keep with a small house. In the 17th century, Joos Triest added a northern wing with a chapel. In 1721, the right wing and a new facade were built at the behest of Gillis Dons. The castle was further modified in 1858 and 1888. The fully moated building and the surrounding park are not open to the public. You can only admire this truly captivating castle from Kasteeldreef.
