Chateau du Loup

In 1913, the industrial Gaspard Vanden Bogaerde has built in a large park just outside the center of a small town in Belgium two houses and a caretaker apartment building. He himself inhabited the Chateau du Loup (fake name). The style of this detached country house, designed by Jules Vercoutere, clearly refers to the 18th-century architecture and shows how the client wanted to reflect the rich noble families from the Ancien Regime. The luxurious interior is also proof of the richness of the client. In 2001 the two houses and the gatehouse have been declared as protected monuments.

I'll be in your region very soon because I have the intention to visit ECVB again with nice weather. I think some rays of sun could transform this place into a paradise and the view from the roof is amazing but it rained so much the day I was there.
