Castle ‘de la Motte’ at Groot-Gelmen (Belgium)
In the 11th century, this castle consisted solely of a square donjon that was built with a double purpose : as a residence and as a means of defence in times of war.
In 1560 the tower was extended to a real castle.
The castle has a troubled history. It was often besieged and burned down.
The armies of Napoleon were the last to destroy the castle completely.
In 1865, the edifice was rebuilt again in neo-gothic style.
Finally, a complete restoration took place in 1994.
***
In my picture you can see that a part of the castle is covered by trees along the waterside, a bit disturbing I agree, but there was really no other position possible to shoot the castle in its whole.

As always, an excellent image.I especially like the chestnut leaves in
the foreground.
They remind me of a Bavarin beer garden.
