This is a close view of the "Chateau le Fy" dominating Esneux.
This castle was established in 1904-1905 by the son in law of the famous engineer Ernest Solvay (founder of the Solvay company). It was build following plans established by the architect Paul de Saintenoy.

It is often said that this castle inspired Walt Disney for his Sleeping Beauty movie. Though it might be probable because Disney visited Belgium and because american soldiers brought back many pictures taken during Second World War, it makes no doubt that the Neuschwanstein castle in Bavaria is both better known and more impressive in size !

The "Chateau le Fy" is being completely renovated with the help of the Walloon Region by its dutch owner... also known as the "King of Ghana".

Belle photo,cette silouette ne m'est pas inconnue,mais ici, elle est plus jolie que de jours,moment ou je l' avais photographié. Amitiés Thomas

Bonsoir Eric
Magnifique photo du Château le Fy.
Il est vraiment bien mis en valeur par l'éclairage que tu as bien maîtrisé, par les arbres desquels il semble surgir et par le magnifique ciel bleu qui le surplombe.
Dommage qu'il manque le médaillon avec la gorgone mais je crois qu'on ne devra plus attendre trop longtemps maintenant. C'est vraiment une chance qu'on le restaure. Ta note est très intéressante ainsi que l'article dans Wikipedia.
Amitiés
Henry
