Visit to Judith-Gent

Dear Art Lover,

 

If you are going to Ghent, here is a tip for a visit that is worthwhile.

 

Have you met a Carolingian princess yet?

 

Her name is Judith and you can visit her at St. Peter's Abbey in Ghent until Jan. 19, 2025 from Tuesday to Sunday (10 a.m. to 6 p.m.).

 

During the construction of the underground parking lot in St. Peter's Square in Ghent, a tomb was found among several graves that continued to demand separate attention.

 

Archaeologists, historians and bio-anthropologists bent over grave S 127 in particular.

 

Is it Judith, daughter of Charlemagne and first countess of Flanders?
