Lego Ghent

Today, we toured several museums in Ghent. One of them was very interesting, because it had different sections from different centuries, each with a different architecture style. This museum was created to show the history of Ghent, and walking through the museum you can see the city change across the centuries.


Near the end of the tour was my favorite thing from the day, a Lego model of Ghent! There were only a few buildings shown off, but it was interesting nonetheless. A few kids were playing with the Legos, creating their own buildings on the outskirts of the city.
Pictured is the Belfry tower, the largest such tower in Belgium. It was built in 1310, with several other renovations in between. These kinds of buildings were not used as churches, but we’re for government offices.
