INFO: Château Miranda (English: Miranda Castle), also known as Château de Noisy (English: Noisy Castle) was a 19th-century neo-Gothic castle in Celles, province of Namur, Belgium, in the region of the Ardennes. As of October 2017, the chateau has been completely demolished. The Château was built in 1866 by the English architect Edward Milner under commission from the Liedekerke-De Beaufort family, who had left their previous home, Vêves Castle, during the French Revolution. However, Milner died before the Château was finished. Construction was completed in 1907 after the clock tower was erected. 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.
Their descendants remained in occupation until World War II. A portion of the Battle of the Bulge took place on the property, and it was during that time that the Château was occupied by German forces.
In 1950, Château Miranda was renamed Château de Noisy when it was taken over by the National Railway Company of Belgium (NMBS/SNCB) as an orphanage and also a holiday camp for sickly children. It lasted as a children's camp until the late 1970s.
The regime at Home de Noisy was strict, it was run by female officials and the children dressed uniformly. In the square between the outbuildings a small football pitch was set up and the fountain in the garden was converted into a swimming pool. These were of various nationalities and language regions: French and Flemish children between 5 and 14 from Belgium and during the holiday season, children from Italy.
The Château has stood empty and completely abandoned since 1991 because the costs to maintain it were too great, and a search for investors in the property failed. Although the municipality of Celles has offered to take it over, the family has refused, and the enormous building is now (as of 2015) in a derelict state, succumbing to decay and vandalism. Parts of the structure were heavily damaged in a fire and many areas of the ceiling are collapsing. Despite this, it has become a favorite venue of urban explorers. As of October 2017, the chateau has been completely demolished, with nothing left aside from a few foundations but these are due to be cleared in the coming months.

Castle of Vêves
A short introduction to the castle of Vêves in the Belgian town of Houyet.
Het Kasteel van Vêves - Lessevallei
Het sprookjesachtige kasteel van Vêves prijkt op een rotsige heuvel boven het dorpje Celles, één van de Mooiste Dorpjes van Wallonië. Dit prachtig voorbeeld van15de eeuwse militaire architectuur wordt geflankeerd door vijf ranke peperbustorens en vanaf de geplaveide binnenplaats kunt u een opmerkelijke 16de eeuwse vakwerkgalerij bewonderen.
Visite aérienne du Château de Vêves
Le château de Vêves, au bord d'un petit affluent de la Lesse, se trouve à quelques kilomètres du village de Celles commune de Houyet, dans la province de Namur (Région wallonne de Belgique).
Les origines de ce château-fort sont anciennes. Pépin de Herstal y avait déjà élevé une villa dans la seconde moitié du viie siècle afin d'être plus près de l’ermitage de Saint Hadelin à Celles. La villa fut ensuite transformée en une petite forteresse par ses différents successeurs au ixe siècle. Cette forteresse fut rasée en 1200 et reconstruite en 1220 par la famille Beaufort qui en fit un château plus puissant.
Détruit par les Dinantais au xve siècle et rétabli aussitôt, le château eut encore à subir les ravages causés en 1793 par les révolutionnaires français.
Au XVIIIe siècle, la famille de Liedekerke-Beaufort restaura le château, lui donnant son aspect actuel.
Il constitue un des plus beaux châteaux médiévaux de Belgique.
