This is a rare chance to own an historic castle in the heart of the European Union, making it a superb

investment opportunity.

The Chateau de Barbençon is an elegant eighteenth century country house within the walls

of an eleventh century castle, overlooking a tranquil fishing lake.

Located in the Wallonia region of Belgium, it is

approximately 1 hour from Brussels, 2 hours from Paris and Calais, 2½ hours from Frankfurt and just half an hour from

Charleroi airport.

The thousand-year-old castle gatehouse has been converted into flats, the basis of a thriving

holiday-let business.

The main house, once the palace of an Hungarian princess, has been restored into a suite of

large, elegantly proportioned salons by the current owners, who plan to retire.

There are exciting opportunities to

expand the property further. Planning permission is available to add a further floor to the main house, while the cavernous

rooms beneath it remain largely unused. The 1.5ha grounds include a vaulted and turreted medieval barrack house, as yet

unrestored.

The Chateau de Barbençon has the potential to be developed into a luxury hotel, an exclusive club, a

successful holiday business, or a prestigious private residence.
