Château Romantique
2016

Visited in August 2018 on a Belgium tour with Ninja Kitten this was a late addition when locations were running out towards the end of the tour. Also known as Manor aux portraits, Château Romantique was a fairly low profile location but well worth the effort to get in. Once inside, we had to make a very fast escape when we heard someone coming into the building. Thinking it maybe the owner we scarpered out the back and hid in the gardens only to see a Dutch chap with a camera pop his head up from behind the opposite hedge. Seems we had spoked him as he was trying to get inside to photograph it!

​

So, we headed back inside and spent a couple of hours inside exploring the entire building. I can't find any history of the building so it remains a mystery as to why it has been left in its current state. A lovely grand house which was probably occupied by prominent families in the past and left inside some beautiful furniture, dozens of portraits and other personal artefacts.

​

The decay has started to set in but the house is still beautiful and wouldn't require much renovation to make it once again a lovely home for someone.
