The House of Alijn

Add to my brochure print

Historisch centrum/Gravensteen-site

[Huis van Alijn ]

In the only remaining almshouse in Ghent you can travel back in time. The beautifully decorated museum rooms show you how normal men (and women!) lived their everyday life in the 20th century. A collection of old private videos recorded by the inhabitants of Ghent illustrate their stories and give you a surprising and intimate glimpse into a time and a city that once were. Discover this grand timeless (hi)story.
