The Prinsenhof or Hof ten Walle was a historic building in Ghent, East Flanders in Belgium. It served as the official residence of the Counts of Flanders from the 15th century after the Gravensteen fell into disuse, having previously been the home of the financier Simon de Mirabello. It was completely rebuilt by Louis II, Count of Flanders and became the residence of Philip the Handsome and Joanna of Castile. Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor was born there in 1500, who then used it as his residence in the city, calling the States General of the Netherlands to sit in the castle in 1517 and 1521. Today only the postern gate survives. Read more on Wikipedia
