Het Steen is one of the oldest castles in Europe and also one of the largest ancient castles, located in the old town center of Antwerp. The castle was built in 1200 as a fortress by the Roman Empire. 'Steen' in Dutch means 'stone', hence the name Stone Castle. In the 16th century, Charles V transformed the castle into a city gate that connected to the city walls, and it was later used as a prison, until it became a museum in the 19th century. Today's Het Steen is no longer as it was in the past.

Belgium🇧🇪—Antwerp
Antwerp is north of Brussels and can be reached by train in about half an hour. Antwerp's Central Railway Station is the most famous. Its design style is very gorgeous, and many people take photos there. In addition, the City Hall, Het Steen, and churches are also must-see attractions in Antwerp. In Antwerp, in addition to attractions, there are also many antique shops. Vintage stores are cheap and of high quality. If you have extra time, you can hunt for treasures in vintage stores. You may be able to find surprises (I bought them in a vintage store) A horn jacket costs about 9€, very cheap and warm).
