Judith, a Carolingian princess in Ghent?

Flandria illustrata - 000791673

Exhibition: Judith, a Carolingian princess in Ghent?

Was the Carolingian princess, Judith, buried in Ghent? Visitors can reopen a special whodunnit that was abandoned in 2006 due to lack of evidence. The backdrop to this riveting story is Ghent’s St Peter’s Abbey, once the final resting place of the Counts of Flanders. Archaeologists, historians and biological anthropologists join forces to examine grave S127, uncovered during the construction of an underground car park.


St. Peter's Abbey, Sint-Pietersplein 9, Ghent

From 4 October 2024 to 19 January 2025, Tuesday until Sunday, from 10am until 6pm.
