An old postcard of the Bijloke, with the caption "Ghent Civil Hospital" in English, Dutch and French. The postcard is dated between 1900 and 1930. The postcard features a black and white image of a Gothic style building, surrounded by trees, and there are three cars parked in the street.
View of Hoveniersberg with St Peter's Church, taken from Muinkkaai in Ghent. A photograph in black and white, date unknown, but definitely more than a century old. St Peter's Church can be seen in the background, with a canal in the foreground.
A view from the bottom of the Boekentoren in Ghent, Belgium, illustrating how high the building is. It is in fact 64 meters high, which doesn't sound very high when you think about it, but it looks really high in the photograph.
