### Other neighbourhoods around Heirnis

![This was my favourite place to visit in Ghent. I could have taken pictures all day in the ruin of St. Bavo's Abbey. An quiet oasis in the city, we were the only people there. So quiet and serene and many courtyards to explore including a medieval church. 

Founded in the 7th century, the former abbey is now ruins echoing the history that took place here. The oldest wall in Ghent stands here.

The original Romanesque church that was destroyed is marked out by lovely hedges so you can see where it once stood as the five-metre-high shrubbery columns mark out the foundations.

Entry was free.](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/7490/85317b37-7036-4c21-890d-795325629c43.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=350&h=192&q=medium)
