The Citadelpark is a park on the brow of a hill between the rivers Scheldt and Lys. This city park was created in 1875 on the place where the Dutch citadel of Ghent formerly stood, built between 1819 and 1831. The citadel, one of the largest and most modern in Europe at the time, was later used as an infantry and artillery barracks. It was in use until 1870. This music kiosk was built in 1885 under the supervision of the Ghent city architect Charles Van Rysselberghe.
