Forgotten History
Oude Kluis Castle
Ghent, Belgium
The Castle de Oude Kluis is a castle in the Belgian sub-municipality of Gentbrugge at Gentbruggekouter, originally a fortress most likely built in the 12th century and possibly even earlier. In 1165, a castle chapel was established on the estate. Some historians see this castle chapel as the explanation for the name given to this former municipality. A document from the last quarter of the 14th century provides proof that a hermitage was also present on this estate.
