Large living room

After passing through the small entrance hall, adorned with family mementos such as the alabaster light fixture and the painting of the castle, created by Louis Van Coetsem (a Ghent painter from the early 19th century), you enter the vast living room with a view of the castle.

This pleasant room, furnished with a mix of family furniture and contemporary pieces, reveals the original vaulted ceiling with oak beams.

An imposing Louis XV oak fireplace, although no longer functional for safety reasons, lends a luxurious charm to the room. It is surmounted by an old zinc dormer window, converted into a light fixture, which came from an annex of the house, demolished during renovations in the 1960s.

A large oiled acacia wood dining table, surrounded by contemporary chairs, allows you to get together with family or friends to enjoy a meal under the imposing Art Nouveau chandelier in wrought iron and glass paste.

The room is decorated with antique engravings with regional themes, a contemporary lace diptych created by the owner's daughter, and a rust-dyed textile artwork made by the owner herself. Both textile artists in their spare time, they offer some pieces for sale, displayed throughout the gîte... inquire on site for details.

From this room, you have access to the cloakroom, the toilet, the kitchen, and the period staircase leading upstairs, where an 18th-century oak floor bears witness to the ground movements linked to mining in the region... quite a surprise for first-time visitors! 😊
