Prison of Dendermonde, Historic prison in Dendermonde, Belgium
The Prison of Dendermonde features thick stone walls, watchtowers, and a central courtyard designed according to 19th-century correctional facility standards.
Construction of this penal institution began in 1863, implementing modern security measures and reflecting the Belgian prison reform movements of that period.
The prison exhibitions display artifacts, documents, and photographs that illustrate the evolution of the Belgian criminal justice system over multiple generations.
Guided tours of the facility introduce visitors to former cell blocks, administration areas, and recreational spaces while explaining daily prison operations.
Located near the river Dender, this prison incorporated water features into its defense system, using the natural geography for additional security measures.
