Ghent: Textile and University City
With 272,657 inhabitants (2025), Ghent is the capital of East Flanders. The city covers postal codes 9000 and 9030-9032 and has many districts: Patershol, Sint-Pieters, Wondelgem, Sint-Amandsberg, Oostakker, Gentbrugge, Ledeberg and Zwijnaarde.
Districts and profile
Centre and Patershol (9000) : Historic core with Saint Bavo’s Cathedral, the Belfort, the Gravensteen and the Graslei/Korenlei quays. Tight fabric of old houses.
Sint-Pieters, Sint-Amandsberg, Ledeberg, Gentbrugge : Urban districts of terraced houses, near Ghent University.
Wondelgem, Oostakker, Zwijnaarde : More residential sections tied to the canalised port.
Lock types
The medieval core and its protected buildings (cathedral, Belfort, Gravensteen) fall under heritage rules: old lever locks and specific interventions. The Patershol district and long rows of terraced houses retain period fittings. The textile past and the canalised port leave technical doors behind, while student and residential districts use certified European cylinders and multipoint locks.
