Belgium, which is next door to
France, Luxembourg, Germany
and the Netherlands is a country
in Western Europe who
inherited a lot of medieval
splendor. You can see his tracks
in various forms of the castle
buildings and many old
mansions scattered along your
journey.
These buildings are the
appearance of wealth and
power of its owners that is
dominated by the nobility,
wealthy merchants, and if in the
modern era, the super star.
There are still good condition
and charming newly built as a
month, but many are
conditioned languish, neglected
in his loneliness. It seems rather
difficult to understand why a
superb stately building
eventually ended miserably
helpless. But do not be
indiscriminate. Just because
they are miserable, helpless
mess and it does not mean
these buildings can be explored
in vain. Breach action and visit
without permission and
notification might take you end
up at the hearing table.
Fortunately for now because the
Belgian Office of Tourism has
announced the opening of three
buildings the old castle as a
tourist destination. Rochendaal
Chateau Sint-Truiden is the first
building built circa 1881 by Jean
Henri Paul Ulens for his wife. On
a beautiful sunny day, you can
enjoy the charm of Victorian
details, murals and flirty and
various Nazi era propaganda
that characterizes this
magnificent building.
The second is the chateau de
Noisy at Celles, originally called
Mirinda chateau, built about the
year 1866 as the summer home
of the royal family. Has some
remarkable features to explore,
but you should be extra careful.
A 55-meter-high clock tower
and the ceiling is incredibly
beautiful always waiting to be
explored, coupled with the
damaged floors and stairs are
rotted. Dangerously beautiful.
Castle of Mesen is the third
building one of its most colorful
referred to as a chameleon
architecture. Built at the
beginning of the 17th century
for the royal family, after two
hundred years of experience the
process of additions and
renovations, the castle was sold
and used as a factory in the
19th century. Distillation of
alcohol had been a mill, once a
sugar factory, and had also
become tobacco processing
plant. In 1897 the building was
purchased and changed into a
Catholic school and then end the
teaching and learning process in
the 1970s.
In its messy and helpless, it
turns out Rochendaal chateau
building in Sint-Truiden, chateau
de Noisy at Celles, and the Castle
of Mesen in Lede still able to
display the remnants of her
beauty that has captivated
millions of lenses of
photographers and cameras of
the tourists. Perhaps now is the
time for you to enjoy.
