Château Miranda - Château de Noisy (Celles/ Belgium)

Since Halloween is just around the corner I thought this abandoned castle would be fitting.

Château Miranda, also known as Château de Noisy is a 19th-century neo-Gothic castle in Celles, Belgium. The Liedekerke-Beaufort family commissioned the English architect Edward Milner to build it in 1866.
The castle remained occupied by the same family until World War II when it was taken over by the National Railway Company of Belgium (NMBS) who used it as an orphanage until 1980.

The building has stood empty since 1991 and has fallen into disrepair. The municipality of Celles have offered to take over the building but the family have refused. As of now (2015) it is still in a very derelict state and has become a favourite venue of urban explorers.

The Invisible Church (Borgloon/ Belgium)

Although officially called "Reading between the Lines" this work of art is often referred as "The See Through Church" or "The Invisible Church".
The walls, roof and the spire are constructed from layers of steel flats with gap between each layer, making an interesting visual effect that changes with the angle of the viewer.

La Balade des Gnomes (near Durbuy/ Belgium)

Not far from Durbuy - a small picturesque 17th century town - lies the fairy-tale & fantasy inspired hotel “La Balade des Gnomes” meaning “the walk of the Gnomes”. It was designed and built by architect and visionary hotelier Mr Noël who also runs the restauran La Gargouille (the Gargoyle) next door.
In the 10 amazing rooms you can let your imagination run wild. Each room is decorated with great attention to detail and draws inspiration from different themes. You'll find a troll's lair, a bed inside a sail boat, wooden toadstools, a Trojan horse in which to sleep, a lunar landscape with stars twinkling in the ceiling and so much more.

Châtillon Car Graveyard (Châtillon/ Belgium)

This belgian car graveyard dates back to world war 2. The hundreds of old, rusty cars once belonged to American soldiers from a near base who after the war couldn't afford to ship their cars back to the U.S. so they left them parked here under the trees. Most of this graveyard has been cleared in 2010 for environmental reasons, but here's how it used to be.

Dinner in the Sky (Brussels/ Belgium)
