Gravenkapel

Tucked away near the Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekerk, the Gravenkapel is a small but richly decorated chapel built in the 14th century as a final resting place for the Counts of Flanders. Its exterior is marked by tall Gothic windows and flying buttresses, while inside you'll find a serene space filled with carved stone tombs, delicate vaulting, and a series of polychrome statues of the counts. The chapel feels intimate and contemplative, a quiet contrast to the bustling city outside. Visitors often remark on the fine craftsmanship of the medieval sculptors and the sense of stepping back into Flanders' princely past. Though modest in size, the chapel holds significant historical weight as a testament to the county's medieval power.
