725 Comments for Château de Mesen

With the roof open, it won't be long till the place comes down. Nature reclaims everything eventually. Man might delay it, but he won't ever stop it. Even the Pyramids of Giza will eventually be gone.

With the decay it won't be long before it comes down. Thanks for preserving it through photography.

Thanks! This is my new wallpaper. Love this shot.

My sister's "1920's torch song" in the musical...."I still recall so tenderly the night when first we met..." -and..."Kiki, give me that champagne!"

C'est tres magnifique!! Unfortunately, the latter of the caretakers didn't see it much as a queen's castle.

(Hmm, can a student still have time to appreciate the architecture while busily studying under an iron fist?)
On the other hand, I've seen some Wonderful castles in England (and palaces in France) that are fixed up soundly enough for tours, so those are places I'd LOVE to have a wedding.

Call your wedding photo sideline "Matches Made by Motts" ;)
I don't know about ruins, but if...I could get married at Hotel Del Coronado or Grand Hotel Mackinac, I suppose I'd like that a lot...much easier than hoping everyone has sound footwear and no formals get dusty or torn! (My church will do. It's not quite a cathedral and the windows only have a little color, but lots of light, open space.)

Hauntingly, a melody from musical The Boyfriend floats across the empty room in my mind:
"We're perfect young ladies, preparing to take our places among the noblesse..."

This building is a sad one to see even nature demolish :(

Nice mini-series:
Impressions & Divine Light= fire,
Violet Shadows & Decouvert= ice

I wish someone would save those windows!

Nature's temple

Yes GREEN with Black trim and long black gloves

Ali

A stunning GREEN or Candyapple RED wedding dress would light this place up ... right Ali ?
