Belgium...Genc & the Gravensteen Castle

After a good nights sleep, dressed, checked out, breakfast and then headed for Genc. Another beautiful city.....but more rain than the previous day.



After a walk to the plaza we headed for the castle. It was built as a castle and later used as a prison. Many, many, many circular steps...up and up we went. The torture displays were terrible to think about.

This view is from the tippy, tippy top of the castle, as Ashley called it.
The frame was built for display, but the blade was for reals.
This is just a few of the torture displayed


The kitchen
This is the 'toilet'....yuk! On top of the castle and would drop down to the water.


Back to the streets of Genc on our way back home.
