モン＝ド＝ランクルの洞窟・トップ10

アンヴァン城は、4つの角塔を持つ、厳密に対称的に建てられたウォーターキャッスルです。19世紀に建てられたこの城は、ラヌワ伯爵の主な住居です。 ルクセンブルク大公妃ステファニーは、家族と共にこの城で育ちました。 フランス様式の18世紀の庭園は、ジャン・ド・メスグリニー侯爵の命により造られました。城のそばにある大きな池は、近くの川、ロスネ川の水で満たされています。 1940年5月28日、この城は重要な歴史的出来事の舞台となりました。ベルギーがドイツに降伏したことがそこで署名されました。 城は一般公開されていませんが、通りからは城と池に映る美しい姿を見ることができます。 数年前から城の敷地内でワインが栽培されています。2022年には、日当たりの良い南向きの斜面にある、水はけの良いローム石灰質の土壌に最初のブドウの木が植えられました。3ヘクタールの面積に、約18,000本のシャルドネと2,000本のピノ・ムニエのブドウの木があり、これはベルギーの平均と比較して、ヘクタールあたり約6,600本のブドウの木という比較的高い植栽密度に相当します。選ばれた台木と植栽密度は、高濃度のブドウを生産することを目的としています。このドメインは、主に単一品種のスティルワインの生産に焦点を当てています。 出典：Wikipedia

The castle and its outbuildings will soon be taken over by companies specializing in the renovation of historical monuments. Les Amis du Château d'En Haut (non-profit organization) specializes in estate rentals, and the proceeds are redistributed to restoration projects (Pineal Project: workshops, ceremonies, product presentations, exhibitions, performances, etc.). This is stated at: www.chateaudebossuit.com When I passed by, the gate on Kasteeldreef was simply open. There was nothing to indicate that the estate was inaccessible. For example, in the garden to the left of the castle, there seemed to be the remains of a pop-up bar or some kind of public event. When I left the estate on the Doorniksesteenweg side, the automatic gate gently opened for me. When I turned around, I saw a sign saying "Private / No Access."

Nice restaurant, pleasant terrace in summer.

Beautiful park with ponds and café restaurant.

Beautiful park with many benches to rest for a while or have something to eat in the restaurant or drink a coffee on the terrace.

The Castle of Bossuit and the accompanying Orangery are still inhabited by the noble family de Talhouet. The lordship of Bossuit was a fief from the bishopric of Tournai. The lords of Bossuit sold the domain to the Luytens family in 1710. Michiel Maximiliaan Luytens later became Viscount of Bossuit. He renovated the original castle, had a park built and the castle got the four corner towers. The castle is neoclassical, inspired by the French Loire castle construction. The castle is protected as a monument (1995), as a valuable oeuvre of the 18th century Lille architect Lesaffre. The interiors are executed in a neat Louis XVI style with Louis XV elements. We find salons with rococo decoration and a rich library. In the staircase are numerous hunting trophies and several family portraits. The party took place in the Orangery, which was held in the presence of Leopold I, on the occasion of the official opening of the Bossuit-Kortrijk Canal in 1860. The castle park with pond and the castle avenue are protected as a village view. The castle domain is not accessible.
