★★★★★6 years agoThis place is disgustingly pretty! Absolutely gorgeous. And the little coffee stall is cute.
Emmy Legon
★★★★★6 years agoEen oase van rust in het centrum van Gent. Achtersikkel en grote sikkel in de nabijheid van de Sint-Baafskathedraal. Het gebouw opgetrokken tussen de 15e en 16e en huisvest momenteel het muziekconservatorium. Het kleine hoektorentje in baksteen behoort tot het oudste gedeelte.
