Kasteel van Mesen is one of those amazing sites that you can see online, and instantly want to go there. It took 3 years to finally plan a trip over the water, and when we did (summer 2007), Kasteel van Mesen was our first stop.
The site has been occupied in a number of shapes and forms since the 16th century, but the final stage of building work, including the grand chapel were added as late as 1905. The building is believed to have had many different uses, the most recent being a school. The site was abandoned in the late 1970's, and as a result they are in a dire condition - but somehow still retain much of their former grandeur.
A very enjoyable explore, my only regrets were not seeing the theatre as our visit was cut short by locals calling us in Belgianese
.
Visited with Jaff Fox and Valan.
Let the photos take it from here!
