400 Belgian castles, from the 400 castles described by Philippe Farcy since 2002 in his four books «100 Châteaux de Belgique, connus et méconnus» published by Editions Aparté, and in his weekly Friday rubriques in daily Belgian La Libre Belgique.

Philippe Farcy, born in 1957, graduated in art history from Université Paris Sorbonne-Paris IV and completed his studies at Ecole du Louvre. Journalist, he is today in charge of the art market at Belgian daily La Libre Belgique.

The castles are recorded by provinces and separately for Brussels: a search tool allows you to find easily the name of the castle, of the owners, of the town or village (commune in French, gemeente in Dutch) before and after the merger of these localities decided in 1975, following the French, Dutch, German or English spelling wherever appropriate.

All the photos are owned by Philippe Farcy except those of Beirvelde in Beervelde (count Renaud de Kerchove de Denterghem), Grand-Bigard in Groot-Bijgaarden (Xavier Pelgrims de Bigard), Valduc in Hamme-Mille (anonymous), La Cense du Seigneur in Mélin (Patricia Matthieu de Wynendaele), Viola Cornuta in Uccle (David Lloyd Leisure), Chimay (prince de Chimay), château de Là-Bas in Aische-en-Refail and Hodoumont in Jallet (Simon Schmidt www.globalview.be), the Vieux-Joncs in Rijkhoven (Landcommanderij Alden Biesen), Waha (Me Parmentier). Postcards are in the public domain. Owners of the photos not taken from the books of Philippe Farcy are separately mentioned.
