Timeless place

You made me want to take a trip there soon. Thanks Leo

The Château de Boulogne is unlike any other. With an architecture drawing its inspiration from history and esotericism, it was born in the imagination of Charles de Boulogne (1864 - 1940), a rich Belgian landowner who purchased the title of Count and who undertook the construction of the castle in 1896 on the remains of the Lancry family castle. For 25 years, he put all his energy and his fortune into creating his 'Great Work', a philosopher's residence, a castle of Mysteries which unfortunately was largely destroyed during the Battle of Matz in 1918. For his fellow citizens, Count Charles de Boulogne was the builder of a spooky residence. An incomprehensible man, a little crazy, an “enlightened person”? And yet the sentence he had engraved on the portal gives us the key: “Sortis patiens esto nulli clauderis honesto” ("Be patient, nothing is closed to an honest man")

A nice path between Ignaucourt and Démuin, rather easy to ride even if it is sometimes narrow with dense vegetation, sometimes muddy. But nothing technical and quite flat.
