Chateau Rochendaal

This abandoned gem is located in Sint- Truiden, Belgium. It was built in 1881 by Jean Henri Paul Ulens for himself and his bride, Marie. They lived there until the Nazi invasion, after which the Nazis made it their own. Since then it has housed Belgian pilots training in nearby fields, but has remained empty since it was vacated in 1996.

We love the Victorian details and murals of this beautifully decayed home.

A Pirates Treasure

Here is our idea of the treasures Venetian ships would have been carrying. Shown above are our 18k stacked diamond and snake bangles including a 17th century Venetian gold coin.
We wonder where this coin has traveled throughout its history?
