About this audio guide
This guide to Geeraard de Duivelsteen in Ghent begins in the autumn of twenty twenty-five, when builders converting the old stone castle into offices lifted part of the first-floor floor. It reaches back to the knight nicknamed Geeraard the Devil, and to the Hieronymite monks who prayed in the great hall above the river. Along the way you'll hear what their table says about how they lived. Best heard on the Scheldt side, looking up at the grey stone.
