Chateau de Miranda

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.
