Chateau Noisy - the briefest of visits (March 2013)

[The Urban Adventurer]

Seven of us left England very early in the morning! Still cannot believe we got seven blokes, camera gear and “overnight bags†into a Zaffira ! A race across France and into Belgium..suspiciously eyeing the weather after each kilometre..yes there was snow on the ground..

Armed with many satellite navigational aids “Google Maps†managed to deliver us to our destination..well..almost..it was the hill on the other side of the valley! After a hysterical climb up the hill and then down it and then up the other side we finally managed to spot the tower of the Chateau through the trees.

A quick walk round the building and we found our entry point..albeit a little smelly..clearly the custodian of Noisy does not want people in there..the rotting carcass of a dead deer is a little much on the stomach even for a bunch of seasoned explorers.

Still we were in! Briefly ! After rattling off a couple of shots of the main staircase the lunatic gamekeeper trolled up in his Landover and started unlocking the main front door..we scarpered up onto the first floor landing whilst some of our party headed back for the basement!...the dam dogs sniffed us out and then the fun really began!

There is a video of the on-going embarrassing escort off the premises somewhere on the web…

He never found the rest of the crew hiding in the basement or the Germans hiding in the upper parts!

Our first explore in Belgium…what a welcome!

I mainly just got pics of the fabulous staircase..or what's left of it !

The Main Staircase..

Nothing like a good erect column !

Such beauty in decay..

You should never forgot to look up when exploring ! That's one very cool ceiling (apologies for the "urbex ghosts" in the pic )

As I said..one very brief visit..never even got a pic of the outside
