History
An old building existed prior to the construction of the castle. Located on a former field by Stavelot abbey, its origins may date back to the nineteenth century. Around 1890, Belgian diplomat and early photographer Isidore Jacques Eggermont acquired the castle with over 400 hectares of land, including farm land and woods. He then built a castle around the old building; hiring Belgian architect Auguste Van Assche for its design, after which the castle took its present form.

gollark: You can have "universal truth" with things like logical statements, where you can come up with things that are always true given some set of axioms. For physical/sciencey things you can just do "it's very unlikely for this to not be the case".
