Embark on the Ghent Audio Tour: Castles, Legends & Chronicles of Gentbrugge

A fortress lost in the trees, a viaduct stretching like a stone serpent, and church bells that once signaled rebellion—Gentbrugge is more than the suburbs of Ghent. It’s a puzzle box of hidden tales.

This self-guided audio tour unlocks secret corners and extraordinary stories beneath the city’s calm surface. Walk where whispers of intrigue meet architectural marvels you won’t find on postcards.

Did rebels ever use the forgotten corridors beneath Castle de Oude Kluis for midnight plotting? Why did an unfinished bridge in Gentbrugge leave decades of questions echoing across rooftops? Which centuries-old relic inside the HH Simon and Judas-Thaddeus Church vanished, only to return under scandalous circumstances?

Follow twisting paths from fortress shadows to sweeping viaduct views and let Gentbrugge reveal itself. Every step transforms familiar streets into a stage for danger, mystery, and unlikely wonder.

Press play and uncover the secrets hidden in plain sight.
