Schöne Aussicht auf Schloss Wijnendale - Torhout

Source: WillemVandenameele

Description

Blick auf das Wasserschloss Wijnendale und seinen Donjon oder Hauptturm.

1085 baute der flämische Graf Robrecht de Fries dort eine hölzerne Festung . Guy van Dampierre , bekannt aus der Schlacht bei den Goldenen Sporen , verwandelte es in Stein . Dann folgten Glanz- und Niedergangszeiten. Nur drei Türme der Zugbrücke überstanden den von Napoleon angeordneten Abriss .

1833 kaufte die Bankiersfamilie Mathieu aus Brüssel den Wald und die Ruinen des Schlosses und ließ das heutige Schloss errichten. Am Morgen des 25. Mai 1940 kam es zu einer dramatischen Auseinandersetzung zwischen Leopold III. und seinen Ministern . Oder der Beginn dessen, was später die Frage des Königs werden sollte.
