An exceptionally accurate map of Ghent for its time
Gent by George Goethals. 1796

Gent by George Goethals.
The plan captures Ghent at a particularly interesting moment: 1796, during the French period and almost exactly at the transition from the Ancien Régime to the 19th-century city.
Goethals depicts, among other things, the changes made to the former fortifications. Their dismantling had already begun under Joseph II; moats were filled in, gate complexes disappeared, and sections of the bastions were converted into promenades. Consequently, Goethals’ work serves as a vital source for studying the transition from the fortified early modern city to the Ghent of later times.
The map also features an extensive Dutch-language legend identifying streets, religious buildings, bridges, and major public buildings. It is precisely for this reason that the plan is widely used today in historical-topographical research on Ghent.
Goethals' map of Ghent is an exceptionally accurate map for its time.

George Goethals, surveyor in Ghent, working c. 1790-1800.
