Upon first entering the
home, the impressive staircase stand in front of you. The antlers
above the armor on the first landing, is from a local prehistoric
animal.
This is a comic page made
for the Chateau by Herge, displayed in the lobby.
The door to the right of
the entry leads to this hallway.
It has scenes from the
book Don Quixote.
The main dining hall has a
hidden door with a dumbwaiter for food.
The hutch is remarkably
carved.
I really like not only the
painting and carving of the door but the locking devices on it too.
In the other wing is the
family tree of the owners of the Chateau. They still live here today
and use the third floor (closed to visitors).
The main lounge looks like
the kind of place I could get used to.
The painting and wall
decorations surrounding it are masterful in their execution.
Another room of tasteful
elegance.
A fantastic looking
library.
A very cute painting of a
woman on the first night of her marriage.
