Thursday I visted the Chateau de Vêves, near Dinant, a Walloon city and municipality located on the River Meuse in the Belgian province of Namur. It is a beautiful little town and sticks right away to rocks. See post below. The castle was constructed in the 15th century and looks like this :
Unfortunately the day was grey and without sunshine.
This bell hang at the big entrance door
copperplate prints at the wall
A poor deer's head was hanging in one of the rooms
displays of prints and coins
a nice and comfortable suit for shopping !
A huge fireplace with beautiful rough mosaic on the floor
The staircase
stone bullets
a place to play cards
The dining table
a little chapel
An old squeezing machine for cider
the kitchen with an open fire
and the blower
Today the owner's family still lives in there, but in a modernized part of the Castle of course.
Lovely castle!

ReplyDeleteHello Gattina!
ReplyDeleteI was so curious to look for the castle you spoke about! You make me think to the film Les Visiteurs! I would like one day to sleep a night in a such place!
Hello!
ReplyDeleteDid you also saw 'Château de Noisy'? It is nestled in the woods. From a window of the Château de Vêves' can you see it!
