Once upon a time… there was a river, the Senne. About a thousand years ago, people settled on its banks. The village grew into a mighty city, right in the heart of Europe. How exactly that happened? You can see, experience, and understand it during a visit to this imposing 14th-century building! Why did towns have gates? Who was in charge? How did people live, and what professions existed? Examine, listen, and play – the guide will show you the way!
