Castle of Laarne

The Castle of Laarne is an imposing medieval moated castle from the 11th-12th century, situated east of Ghent. It is one of the best-preserved fortresses in Flanders and houses an important silver museum with European silverwork from the 15th to the 18th century. The castle is surrounded by a moat and a castle park.

The ground floor of the castle, including the great knights' hall and the silver museum, is accessible for wheelchair users via a ramp. The upper floors and cellars are only reachable by stairs. The castle park is partly accessible via paved paths. Adapted toilets are available near the entrance.

Parking with disabled bays is available in the castle car park. The castle regularly organises events and temporary exhibitions. It is a short distance from the Wetteren exit on the E40. A visit pairs well with a walk along the Scheldt river.
