Château Miranda aka Chateau de Noisy is a fairytale castle in Celles, Belgium. The building has fallen into a severe state of disrepair but is still stunning!
Celles, Belgium Derelict History
Château Miranda, also known as Château de Noisy is a castle built in the 19th century in Celles, Belgium. The Liedekerke-Beaufort family had left their previous home, Vêves Castle, during the French Revolution and in 1866 commissioned the English architect Milner to build Chateau Miranda.
The castle remained occupied by the same family until World War II when it was taken over by the National Railway Company of Belgium (NMBS) who used it as an orphanage. It remained in use as an orphanage until 1980.
The building has stood empty since 1991 and has fallen into a severe state of disrepair. The municipality of Celles have offered to take over the building but the family have refused. They now plan to demolish the building later in 2014.
My first urbex love
Number 3 and 4 are amazing and the badhroom and the one taken up on one of the towers and and and… screw it, they are all gorgeous!
very nice set mate! such a lovely place.
Excellent report mate, you done this place proud! It will always be one of my favourite sites
Such beauty to be abandoned
Ah love it! it is a shame that is going to be demolished. Great report.
Wowzalicuous
great pictures and a fabulous location! thanks!
Such a beautiful castle, despite it’s state of disrepair….
When it has been freezing or snowing i’m sure it’s even more dangerous then it normally is, I almost fell trough the ceiling last time….but awesome place nonetheless ^^
Amazing… Thanks
Very nice! I love this place. Would love to go back in wintertime, covered in snow it’s probably even more magical, though the hike through the woods might be harder
Haha yup, fotokes zijn van Andy K Urbex, Andy, meet my lovely dad
Probably one of the greatest tragedies of all.
Now that’s an excellent location isn’t it? As you can see on my site, I was there too, but of course the quality isn’t near as perfect as yours.
It makes me wonder what it looked like in its prime. It’s a shame the family won’t take the offered help on the property. Such a waste.
Amazing sky for an unbelievable place. What a shame about the demolition. To nice of a place to just tear it down.
Does anyone know if the castle is still standing?
It is about to be demolished.
Sandy M Rasiul Pompilii ah what a shame… we made it there in 2015 – it was one of my favorite sites so glad we made it but sad to see it go
What a shame that it has never been repaired & left to decay!
Absolutely stunning castle and fantastic photos. Nice work. So, so sad that it will be demolished.
Beautiful!!! bring tears into my eyes…so moving! the owner should be in prison…
I agree…it is outraging!! the owner + the council + the belgian patrimony + the politicians are all responsable..
