From St Michael's bridge there is a wonderful view on the skyline of Ghent with the three impressive towers of St Nicholas' Church, the Belfry with its bell tower and Sint-Baafs Cathedral. Not far from the Graslei arises the Castle of the Counts, once the medieval fortress of the Count of Flanders.
