The Laeken palace is so beautiful, and the flowers and gardens are lovely
 
What a beautiful home/castle. Somehow I just thought their home was much smaller
 
Bing maps offers amazing bird's eye images of the Laken domain.

This week's edition of the flemish magazine Dag Allemaal has an article about Filip & Mathilde's home with beautiful pictures of Laken Castle and its gardens.
It has a picture of the playhouse that I didn't see before and one of the pool that is inside the greenhouses.
I don't have a scanner and can't find them online...
 
Thanks for the scans, cdm! :flowers:

I found another picture of the swimming pool, I imagine its one of the features of Laeken castle most cherished by the royal youngsters. Like having your own Center Park pool. :cool:

The swimming pool is located in a glass/steel building that was erected by Leopold II., not as swimming pool but as church with space for 800 persons. This iron church was designed by Alphonse Balat, who also planned the green houses. It never really served as church and was used as greenhouse later, the swimming pool was installed during the 80ties or 90ties iirc.

Imagine that you see this every time you look out your window. And you can walk there if you feel like it.
I've been there twice already and it's back in my calendar. I do not know if I can go this year as it is for me not next door.
But if you are, I can highly recommend you the opportunity to go again.
 
:previous: Oh!!! I jealous you!!! I hope you can go this year too!!!
 
:previous:Well it is about 250 kilometers from here and I have no driver's license. So I have to take public transport or a bus trip. I still see
 
:previous: I see! Far away without you have the own car!! But i think once a year it will nice trip!

I think it will be opened for three weeks (only). Perhaps I will finally go this time at the end of April, depending on how busy it is at work.
