Today I went to Celles, Belgium and visited Chateau De Noisy again! This is the story!
I woke up at 6am, having a almost sleepless night, and chilled on the computer till 7am, when breakfast opened up. I waited till the gastrointestinal reflux kicked in, made my business and went to the train station, and bought the tickets. I saw on the ticket that the train where leaving at 09.09, to Libramont, But I didn´t see which track where it were leaving, so I went to the information desk, which told me that I will have to take the bus to Arlon, and take the train from there to Libramont. The bus left at 09.45.

So I took the bus to Arlon, and then the train to Libramont. I had 10min to buy a ticket and get on the train to Gendron-Celles, as I couldn´t buy one in Luxembourg. I got to Gendron-Celles at 12.30. and I took the walk along the road to the chateau. Since I did this walk last year, I already knew where to go. I found the forest path to the chateau after a 30min walk along the road.
To get access, you shouldn´t go through the front gates, go around the back, from the forest. After 10min in the forest I found the chateau, which since the last visit, has been partially demolished, the top of the towers has been removed, and lie on the ground on the property.

I got into the chateau, seeing that a lot had caved into, compared to last year, which made this visit harder. The stairs to the second were more broken, since from what I remembered from last year, which made me not dare to go up. Seeing the castle in this state makes me sad, because last year, I saw the potential it could have, but now, it seems less likely that it´s going to happen.
I shot some footage, and decided to head back. I had some trouble finding my way back, but I eventually found my way, and headed to the train station.

I went back the same way I came, heading to Libramont, to Arlon and then Luxembourg. As I said earlier, I find it sad that a beautiful castle is going to be demolished, a castle with history. History that the owners doesn´t care about! Hopefully it will return to its former glory!
I do realise also, that I have been to 8 countries in 3 weeks!
