Beautiful Abandoned Fairytale Castle in the woods! (Noisy/Miranda) - Urban Exploration - Urbex
A little history about this beautiful place :
During the French revolution the Count Liedekerke-Beaufort and his family, who we very much involved in Belgian politics, fled their home, Château de Vêves, to a secluded farm in the forest on the outskirts of the village in 1792. Upon the ending of the revolution, the English architect Edward Milner was commissioned in 1866 by the Liedekerke-Beaufort family to design and build a castle on the land.
Château de Noisy was to be built with many towers, conical roofs, and other Neo-Gothic details, with approximately 500 windows. Milner did not get to finish the castle as he died before the building was completed. The building was continued by the French architect Pelchner, extending the Château largely.
The clocktower was finished in 1903 and is 183 feet tall, and 1907 saw the completion of building activity. Initially, Chateau Miranda, boasting beautifully landscaped gardens, served the family Liedekerke de Beaufort as a summer residence.
During the Ardennen offensive in World War II, the château was briefly occupied by German troops. During the Battle of the Bulge, there was also fighting on the property.

    My Brother started smoking when he was 12 years old. He died at 52 from cancer. Had part of his cancer ridden tongue and mouth cut out. Had a tracheotomy in his throat. Had to be fed through a tube in his stomach. Untold suffering that COULD HAVE been prevented had he never took up smoking. Please, please don't smoke.

    It's such a shame to see these really old castles and buildings fall into disrepair. However it would cost millions of £ or $ to renovate, so I can understand the owners walking away from their money pits. However here in the UK we have certain trusts that take over these types of buildings and renovate and open them up to the public who can visit for a few £'s. Certainly in Scotland where I live there are many Castles and exquisite gardens that our National Trust for Scotland takes care of, sometimes with the owners still in residence in small part of their castle, while the rest is accessible to the public usually from March until October. Lots have also tea/coffee shops, with gift shops also many offer simple lunches. Many here enjoy making it a day outing visiting their local or further away heritage. It also encourages tourists, which helps to boost the local community . I don't know if other places in Europe do similar things? apart from the obvious Versailles in Paris and others of this ilk. I admire these young guys for what they do, but as an adult I'd worry about their safety! there is a very real danger of floors/stairs collapsing. The injuries could be a lot more severe than a broken leg - like death! if some of these walls or floors gave way. At the very least they should wear a safety hat, they are made compulsory on building sites for a reason and it isn't a fashion statement.

    I read an article that gave the history of the family. They were forced to flee France during the revolution. They owned an ancient castle and estate there. It also said that they own the château on the other side of the valley. It's visible in many of the videos of this château. Just look in the distance when explorers are filming from the clock tower. It's a smaller castle (comparatively). It really is sad that they lacked the desire or funds (or both) to save Château Miranda. Even though she was very young by comparison to many other great houses and castles, there was still a lot of history that took place during her short life - history that is now lost forever. :-(

    Count Liederkerke-Beaufort, raised the rent on the building after his father passed away causing the school / camp whatever that was inhibiting it to move out because of the cost to maintain the place. After that there was some talk about turning it into a hotel but that didn't happen,not sure why but it may have had something to do with the count not wanting to sell but instead lease for a very long time. Anyway not too long after the place was abandon their was a fire, It was said that some hunters tried to turn on the heat. But Really in an empty building why would the heat be operational? ( I think insurance) However, their was a large section of roof damaged at least and the count not caring about the place didn't even buy a tarp. Later He took out the fire place's among other things and used them to restore the much smaller and older Veves, which had been his family's ancestors home, as well as some other castle he owns, and sold some of the flooring to a company that makes drums. After that he had guards to keep uben xer's out but he wasn't very bright just an ass hole. Anyway the count sold everything he could, and even though he was told to stop demolishing but he ignored it, and tore it down anyway. Now I'm not sure what his issue was if it was because the place was occupied by German solders for a short time during WWII, or if He was trying to hide something or what. There were several offers made by diffrent people and by the city of Celles (Not sure of spelling) The city it's closest to, but he didn't want to sell. Now I've never been to Belgium or out of the USA. for that matter but their used to be several sights about Save Miranda on the internet where I got my information.

    The other castle is called Veves and the count took some of the interior from Miranda to restore it. He liked the Mid evil fortress castle better, and it was the oldest of the two, so it's now a venue I think not sure if it's a hotel but I don't think so. it has it's own Face Book page.

    Life is short. The people who built this probably thought they had a long time to enjoy it, but look at it now. QUIT SMOKING... life is too short, I don't want you decaying before your time! I quit, over 25 years ago, so you can too! It really only takes a few weeks to get over the cravings while your brain adjusts.

    I can determine that it's a Belgian castle thanks to the Flemish stepped gable. This feature is exclusively used in Flemish Belgian and Dutch architecture, it's a good indicator... 4:02 for a good view. The rest is typical of the french Renaissance style. 8:03 If I had to demolish, I would have kept at least these three elements standing, to indicate that a castle once stand here. I hate developers who give no shit about integrating with flair a new estate, amidst beautiful sceneries...

It is sad that wars, bankruptcy, tragedy, theft, vandalism all manage to destroy these landmarks of a bygone era.

    Yea most of the time i don't realy now the history of the places but i looked it up for you my friend :) : During the French revolution the Count Liedekerke-Beaufort and his family, who we very much involved in Belgian politics, fled their home, Château de Vêves, to a secluded farm in the forest on the outskirts of the village in 1792. Upon the ending of the revolution, the English architect Edward Milner, was commissioned in 1866 by the Liedekerke-Beaufort family to design and build a castle on the land. Château de Noisy was to be built with many towers, conical roofs, and other Neo-Gothic details, with approximately 500 windows. Milner did not get to finish the castle as he died before the building was completed. The building was continued by the French architect Pelchner, extending the Château largely. The clocktower was finished in 1903 and is 183 feet tall, and 1907 saw the completion of building activity. Initially Chateau Miranda, boasting beautifully landscaped gardens, served the family Liedekerke de Beaufort as a summer residence. During the Ardennen offensive in World War II, the château was briefly occupied by German troops. During the Battle of the Bulge, there was also fighting on the property. source : www.davidbakerphotography.com/projects/residential/the-history-of-chateau-de-noisy-chateau-miranda-belgium Thank you for watching you are awesome ruudy :D

    Google Chateau Miranda. That's the original name of the castle. There was a lot of history surrounding the place, including being briefly occupied by nazi troops during WW2. One of the brothers gave a condensed history of the castle a little further up in the comments. It really is a shame that the search for a person(s) to restore the place for use as a hotel/restaurant/special events venue was unsuccessful. Sadly, Chateau Miranda, aka Miranda Castle, aka Chateau de Noisy was razed just this past November. :'(

    I'm guessing the multiple toilets and sauna or showers (the room with all the yellow tiles) were installed to accommodate the occupying soldiers during WWII.

    I like the way you treat the place with the respect that something so old and once-magnificent deserves. I have done my share of exploring old homes, farms, and mansions in the USA, but we have very few castles. Still lots of 1700s and even 1600s houses here. I may be inspired by your vids to do some here in New England.
