Gravensteen Castle 🏰 & Winterbar 🍺
Gent, Belgium 🇧🇪

Gravensteen Castle rises from the heart of Ghent like a page torn from a medieval chronicle. Built in the 12th century, its stone walls, towers, and moat once symbolized the power of the Counts of Flanders. Walking around it today, you can still feel the weight of history — a fortress that has witnessed battles, justice, and centuries of city life, standing strong against time.

Just nearby, the Winterbar adds a warm and contemporary contrast to this historic setting. The concept is simple yet authentic: a cozy seasonal space where locals and travelers gather to enjoy winter drinks, soft lights, and good conversations. Wooden structures, fire pits, and a relaxed atmosphere turn cold evenings into moments of comfort, creating a bridge between past and present. The Winterbar doesn’t compete with history — it complements it, offering warmth and life at the feet of ancient stone.

Haddon Hall rises from the rolling countryside near Bakewell, a striking example of #HistoricArchitecture with its weathered stone walls and ivy-clad façade. The #MedievalCastle elements are evident in its battlements, arched doorway, and mullioned windows that overlook the tranquil grounds. Visitors often explore its preserved #StoneBuilding interiors and stroll the courtyards, soaking in the charm of England’s Peak District. A favorite for #TravelPhotography, the hall offers sweeping #CountrysideViews and a journey into centuries of history.

Haddon Hall in Bakewell, England, features a fortified medieval manor with weathered stone walls and crenellated parapets under a bright blue sky. The central entrance is a pointed arch flanked by climbing ivy, leading into the shadowed interior, while rectangular windows with mullions and leaded glass punctuate the façade. A small tower rises above the gateway, and the surrounding wings display a mix of rough-hewn and smooth stonework. The cobbled courtyard in front is bordered by low steps and small potted shrubs, with minimal vegetation along the building’s base. A single visitor is walking toward the entrance, emphasizing the scale of the historic structure.

The castle in front of the castle: excavations at Schloss Neuenburg reveal high-status medieval remains

Archaeological excavations are underway at Schloss Neuenburg, close to Freyburg (Burgenlandkreis), one of the most significant cultural monuments in Saxony-Anhalt.

The castle, founded around 1090 by Count Ludwig der Springer, has a remarkably large and complex medieval fortification history. So far, the team has discovered the remains of a large residential building with a vaulted cellar and traces of a heating system, including pieces from a tiled stove. These findings indicate a high-quality dwelling, comparable in comfort to the palas of the castle, which had a warm-air system by at least 1180...
