The devastation only really revealed itself in the spring: the combination of humidity and cold had finally reduced the cars, which weren't in the best condition in the first place, to rusty scrap metal. As the locals had resorted to using an alternative road through the village, the road became totally overgrown with weeds and ivy and trees grew up around the queue of cars.  The 'alternative' road became the main road, and the main road a scrap yard.

Castle of Mesen

Built and destroyed many times, what remains from this building dates mainly from the beginning of the 17th century. In the middle of a pretty public park of 7 hectares, the castle has a lot of outbuildings like stables and an orangery. In 2009, after all these years of speculation, greed and stubbornness, the only verdict for the neglected castle was destruction. They say there was no way back. But when looking back, this place deserved a better fate !
