Chartres-type Labyrinth, Ghent is a labyrinth installation in Ghent, Flanders, Belgium. The design is a medieval chartres layout with 11 circuits, 12 walls, built of tile. Documented age: Medieval (13th-15th century). Gothic architecture is an architectural style that was prevalent in Europe from the late 12th to the 16th century, during the High and Late Middle Ages, surviving into the 17th and 18th centuries in some areas. Documentation sources: Kern 2000. The labyrinth pattern occurs nowhere in nature; every documented instance traces back to a human hand. The labyrinth is one of several hundred sites of this type catalogued globally; each preserves the same unicursal walking-pattern with regional variation in scale, material, and date.
The labyrinth tradition spans at least 4,000 years of documented practice across northern Europe, the Mediterranean, the British Isles, North America, and the Indian subcontinent.
