The Cour Saint Georges dates back to 1228 and is considered to be the oldest guest-court in Europe. The history of the Cour St. Georges starts with the cross-bow guards of the St. Joris Guild. In the early Middle Ages, they had to protect the walls of the City of Ghent against danger from the outside. These cross-bow guards often came to the Cour Saint Georges for there supplies, to offer there horses some rest and it is said that they also enjoyed taking forty winks on the hayloft of the 'Cour'. |
