When by the Ruins oft I past
My sorrowing eyes aside did cast
And here and there the places spy
Where oft I sate and long did lie.
Here stood that Trunk, and there that chest,
There lay that store I counted best,
My pleasant things in ashes lie
And them behold no more shall I.
Under the roof no guest shall sit,
Nor at thy Table eat a bit.
No pleasant talk shall 'ere be told
Nor things recounted done of old.
No Candle 'ere shall shine in Thee,
Nor bridegroom's voice ere heard shall bee.
In silence ever shalt thou lie.

-Anne Dudley Bradstreet, Verses upon the Burning of our House, June 18, 1666

A small castle perched up high.

I have traveled the world over in the course of my Military duties and I have seen too much poverty. I just wish that all people could live like this in such splendor.

Hi I'm Belgian and I've visited this wondeful castle , but only from outside...
Miranda castle is falling into ruins because of people and vandals and it is a pity !! (during it was unoccupied, vandals light a fire that made a big hole in the roof.. and it is raining inside since 1991) ..stealers and vandals had taken and broken decoration peaces.
Who are the actual owners ? I don't know but nobody is moving to restaure this jewel of architecture of the 19th century, even the community or the region..
Some internet sites are talking about this mysterial ruins and more and more people are visiting it.
but...PLEASE DON'T DESTROY IT HARDER..RESPECT THIS PLACE that is part of the past..
this castle belongs to ghosts now, from the first owners at the end of 19th century till the children that were living in the "home de Noisy" in the 20th century...
It seems to be that there is a ghost girl on this picture (behind the main door)
Well, I believe
and I love that castle

It brings me back to times that I have experienced before but I can't remember when. I know it was long before I was born, but I know that I was there.
