Located in the Belgian countryside, Miranda Castle, also known as the Chateau de Noisy, was a stunning neo-Gothic structure that became a symbol of decay. It was commissioned in 1866 by the Liedekerke-De Beaufort family, who had fled their previous home during the French Revolution. The castle was an architectural marvel with ornate spires and over 500 windows. However, its history took a darker turn after World War II when it was taken over by the National Railway Company of Belgium to serve as an orphanage and a holiday camp for sickly children. During this time, it was renamed Chateau de Noisy because of the constant sounds of children playing. By the 1990s, the cost of maintenance became too high, and the family refused to allow the government to take over the site. It was abandoned to the elements, becoming a skeletal ruin haunted by the memories of its past inhabitants. Despite its popularity with urban explorers, the castle was tragically demolished in 2017, leaving only photographs of its ghostly, crumbling beauty.
