Entrance Castle J-b, a photo from West-Vlaanderen, Flanders

Use in any form (web, paper publication, public exposure, etc.) is strictly forbidden without the written permission of the photographer. To contact with photographer please use [email protected]

This picture has been taken during a visit to Roeselare on 5 mile of Rumbeke, found I this castle with a lovely entrance building.
I promised that I would places the entrance of the castle.
The gate is closed with a small pole, here are cars forbidden, alone for marriage festivities and photograph reporting's are these welcome.

History:
Although most of the building was built during the Renaissance period, on the site of a far older fortress, it gained some slightly Neoclassical features after its renovation during the 18th century. During those renovations, the adjacent forest, the Sterrebos or the Star Forest, was added to its grounds. The forest was modeled after the Prater park in Vienna.
According to legend, Baldwin Iron Arm, Count of Flanders, kidnapped Judith, the daughter of Charles the Bald in 862 in Senlis and brought her to the fortress that used to be at the very location where the present castle now stands. With the intervention of the Pope, the two lovers married in Auxerre, which then resulted in the creation of the County of Flanders.
For centuries, the castle was owned by the counts of Thiennes and Limburg Stirum. The castle of Rumbeke suffered damage during the invasion of Flanders by French king Louis XIV, as well as during the French Revolution and in both world wars more than a century later. In fact, during World War I, it was taken over by the Germans and became for a short period of time, the home of Baron Manfred von Richthofen, better known as the Red Baron, who was credited with shooting down 80 enemy aircraft in his brightly painted red airplane.
The castle can be seen in the movie That Lucky Touch, a comedy which was partially shot in Rumbeke in 1975, starring Roger Moore and Shelley Winters.

I thank everyone for viewing of these picture.

Hello John,

Excellent POV. This indeed is an architecture with style, beauty and history. Nice saturated colours. Well Done!

Good Morning John - The light is very attractive and has lent very good colour and clarity to the shot. What a pity you could not gain entry to the castle, if the gate house is anything to go by, the castle itself must be gorgeous! I'm not too sure about the square crop, although I don't know the limitations you experienced when shooting and the sky is beautiful the shot seems a little unbalanced to my eye and I would like to see the wider view. Warm regards Rosemary

Hello dear John,
Again a perfect TE entry, almost with the quality of a scientific paper !
Not only the capture (with its pov and light) is top,
but also many interesting notes which enriches this entry.
I knew Roger Moore's famous movie, but didn't knew that it was shot here !
By the way, you say it was been mad in 1975 !!!! Tempus fugit... As if it was only a few years ago !
Do I get old ????
TFS and have a nice Sunday
Best regards

The great sharpness of the image allows us to see all the details of this beautiful architecture, and the splendid light gives a high quality at the colors.
A magnificent work.

nobuikehonda (3848) 2012-01-10 8:28

Hello John,

A lovely house! It is like something straight out of a fairy tale. Very rich in colours and texture, the green lawn in the FG and some trees right behind the house make this house even more attractive. I find all the details, which belong to this house, very appealing. It must be very nice to spend some time on the green lawn. Lastly but not least, the incredible cloud as a backdrop for this house is almost too perfect to be together like this. The sunlight, which fills the air, is most welcoming. This photo speaks of the warmth both visual and psychological. It is a perfect companion in the middle of the dark winter season.

With my very best regards,
Have a very pleasant evening, John

Hello John, Your note reminds me of the 1960's song Snoopy Vs. The Red Baron, they are still not sure who killed the Red Baron, maybe an Australian. Interesting place with an equally interesting history, well captured, colour & details are excellent as always, not sure about the square format, I can see why you wanted the so much of the beautiful white cloud in the frame.
Regards
Santo

Salut John,
Très joli ce petit château bien capté dans un bel environnement et bien conservé. La qualité d'image est exceptionnelle et nous laisse bien voir les détails de l'architecture. L'éclairage est au max, le ciel est merveilleux et les couleurs sont superbes.
Toutes mes amitiés et bonne journée,
Emilius

Nice building taken in good light. Like the inclusion of the part of the lawn in the FG with the shadow of the trees. The big cumulous clouds lends character to this image
Best Regards

Un'altra splendida foto della tua galleria.
Soggetti sempre all'altezza dei luoghi.
Ricca Fiandra , ricche costruzioni.
La dizione castello indica una costruzione "iniziale" difensiva, poi protettiva per gli abitanti ed i loro ricchi possedimenti .
