Together with my 2 german friends i visited Chateau de Noisy in Belgium.
For them it was the first visit, i was there before in May 2007.
But its so impressing, it still is interesting to do it again.
This is in short the history of the place:
During the French revolution, the Count from Liedekerke-Beaufort has left the nearby feudal castle to hide in a farm outside the village. Later, the farm took the name of castle and finally became this gigantic house.
Between WW I and II, the castle became the "Home de Noisy", a vacation camp for railwaymen's children's.
Finally abandoned in 1991, it is slowly falling in ruins since.
