Chateau de Miranda
[Info] [GM] [BM] [YM]
By: alfjon
@ 2009-10-11 05:04:34
The Chateau de Miranda - also known as Chateau de Noisy or Home de Noisy - located not far from Dinant in Belgium, is abandoned since 1991.

During the French revolution, the family of the Count from Liedekerke-Beaufort has left the nearby feudal castle of Vèves to hide in a farm outside the village. After the revolution, the farm took the name of castle and finally became this gigantic house.

Between World War I and II, the castle became the "Home de Noisy", a vacation camp for SNCB (Belgian national rail company) railwaymen's childrens.

It was finally abandoned in 1991 and is slowly falling in ruins since. It has now became a very dangerous place to explore as you can guess by looking at the photos.

Kemmelberg - Gand Wevelgem
[Info] [GM] [BM] [YM]

@ 2009-04-08 07:03:46
Gent-Wevelgem is a professional cycle road race held in Belgium in early April each year, falling on the Wednesday between the Ronde van Vlaanderen and Paris-Roubaix. The event was first run in 1934, and it is often called the sprinters' classic due to its flat finishing terrain.Its early-season date means riders are often tested by wind and rain, while the route also takes them twice over the difficult cobbled climb of the Kemmelberg where key splits often emerge. Very few editions of Gent-Wevelgem actually end in a bunch sprint, usually having an elite group (including the top sprinters) fighting for victory. In recent years, the race has been situated on the Wednesday between de Ronde van Vlaanderen and Paris-Roubaix, and while not officialy part of the Vlaamse Wielerweek (Flemish cycling week), it can be seen as an unofficial finale of the series of cycling classics in Flanders. Since 2005 the race is part of the UCI ProTour.

Despite its name, the race hasn't started in Ghent for many years, traditionally beginning on the market square of Deinze. The course then sets westward towards the Belgian coastal region, after which it moves southwards near the French border towards the Monteberg and Kemmelberg, before heading towards Wevelgem. ]]>

"Baarle-Hertog borders the Netherlands – but, because of its unique history of political division, the town is sort of marbled with competing national loyalties. In other words, pockets of the town are Dutch; most of the town is Belgian.

Thanks to the efforts of American carillonneur Margo Halsted, the instrument was renovated and extended to 63 bells in 1983. The total bell weight is 35 tonnes.

The instrument bears a message of peace.

The belfry of Bruges, or Belfort, is a medieval bell tower in the historical center of Bruges, Belgium. One of the city's most prominent symbols, the belfry formerly housed a treasury and the municipal archives, and served as an observation post for spotting fires and other danger. A narrow, steep staircase of 366 steps, accessible by the public for an entry fee, leads to the top of the 83-meter-high building, which leans about a meter to the east.

To the sides and back of the tower stands the former market hall, a rectangular building only 44 m broad but 84 m deep, with an inner courtyard. The belfry, accordingly, is also known as the Halletoren (tower of the halls).

Played a prominent role in the movie 'In Bruges.']]>

In 1982, he entered the Bayern Munich squad, getting three Bundesliga titles (from 1985 to 1987) and two German cups (1984 and 1986).

Pfaff first played with the Red Devils in 1976 against legendary rival the Netherlands. He was the goalkeeper during Euro 80 and Euro 84, and the 1982 and 1986 World Cups.

Pfaff was named by Pelé as one of the top 125 greatest living footballers in March 2004. He is now a TV star in Belgium with the reality show De Pfaffs showing him and his family in 2003.

Holy Savior Cathedral
[Info] [GM] [BM] [YM]
By: adrbr
@ 2008-02-20 11:07:00
At that time, the Sint-Donatius Church, which is located at the very heart of Bruges opposite of the town hall, was the most important religious building of the city. At the end of the 18th century, the French inhabitants of Bruges threw out the bishop and destroyed the Sint-Donatius Church, his residence.

In 1834, shortly after Belgium's independence in 1830, a new bishop was installed in Bruges and the Sint-Salvator church obtained the status of cathedral. However, the building didn't really look like a cathedral. It was a lot smaller and less imposing than the nearby Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekerk and had to be adapted to its new role. For instance, a higher and more impressive tower was needed.

The oldest surviving part, dating from the end of the 12th century, formed the base of the mighty tower. In 1839 a fire destroyed the roof of the cathedral. William Chantrell, an English architect, famous for his neo-Gothic restorations of English churches, was asked to restore to Sint-Salvator its former glory. At the same time he was authorized to make a project for a higher tower, in order to make it taller than that of the Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekerk.

Instead of adding a Neo-Gothic tower extension, Chantrell chose a very personal Romanesque design. After completion there was a lot of criticism and the royal commission for monuments, without authorization by Chantrell, had placed a small peak on top of the tower because the original design was deemed too flat.

What to See
The Sint-Salvator Cathedral currently houses many works of art that were originally stored in its destroyed predecessor, the Sint-Donatius Cathedral. The wall-carpets that can be seen when entering the church were manufactured in Brussels by Jasper van der Borcht in 1731. These were commissioned by bishop Hendrik van Susteren for Sint-Donatius. In the choir the original 16th century podium can still be admired.

@ 2008-02-09 02:34:59
The Castle of Gaasbeek, today a national museum, is located in the municipality of Lennik, near Brussels, in the province of Vlaams Brabant, Belgium.

The first fortified castle was erected around 1240 as an outpost for the defense of the city of Brussels and the Duchy of Brabant which found itself menaced by nearby principalities such as the County of Hainaut and the County of Flanders. However in 1388 the Castle was destroyed by the troops of the city of Brussels in revenge for the assassination (commanded by the Lord of Gaasbeek) of Everard 't Serclaes.

At the beginning of the 16th century the Horne family constructed a brick castle on the ruins of the medieval fortress. In 1565 Lamoral, Count of Egmont acquiered the castle and its domain, including 17 villages. The new Lord of Gaasbeek was very unfortunate as he was decapitated three years later, accused of high treason by Philip II of Spain.

In the following centuries the castle was inhabited by different noble families. It obtained its present-day romantic look during a renovation in the years 1887-1898 executed by the architect Charle Albert by order of the Marquess d'Arconati Visconti who owned the castle at the time. His widow Marie Peyrat offered the castle, its collections and its domain to the Belgian State after her death in 1922.

Since 1980 the castle has been owned by the Flemish community (Vlaamse Gemeenschap). The castle contains important art collections housed in lavishly decorated historical rooms. A particular piece of the collection is the authentic testament of the painter Rubens.

The castle and its domain (a park of 50 hectares or 124 acres) are open to the public.]]>

The Castle of Beersel, in the Belgian town of Beersel, was built between 1300 and 1310 as a defense point for Brussels. It was however later on plundered by the Brusselians themselves. In 1489 it was rebuilt into what it is now. It also functions as the background for the Spike and Suzy (Dutch: Suske en Wiske) comic "De schat van Beersel" (Dutch for "The treasure of Beersel").]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/castle-of-beersel/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/castle-of-beersel/ Sat, 09 Feb 2008 02:31:01 -0800 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/castle-of-beersel/ 50.76572200 4.30014400 <![CDATA[Boeing 747 (Singapore Airlines Cargo)]]>
