Rabot
(
Do not miss
)
Only two small sections remain standing of the 14km city walls that Ghent once had. One of them is the Rabot, a fortified
sluice. Most visitors get to see this showpiece at the end of a boat trip. When the locks under the towers were opened it
was possible to flood 15sq km of the surrounding land: an ideal strategy for slowing the advance of the enemy. Forty thousand
Austrians discovered that the strategy worked.
The Rabot lost its military function a long time ago and it has since been an inn, a warehouse, electricity sub-station, nesting
and breeding site for doves - the list could go on. These days the building can be hired by anyone who wants to entertain
lavishly in an unusual location.
