Colonial Palace at Tervuren (Belgium)

My ‘Castles of Belgium’-series continues, however not with a picture of a castle this time, but one of a palace (…..what’s in a name).

The Colonial Palace was built from 1904 to 1909 commissioned by Leopold II, the then King of Belgium.

The King wanted to create a ‘little Versailles’ on this place and ordered the famous French architect Charles Girault to construct a palace with French gardens (a typical example of ostentation and braggadocio in colonial times).

The edifice is built in French neoclassical style and its interior is abundantly decorated with precious marble.

Good use of the branches to frame the shot and well exposed giving good natural colours. This also has a peaceful feel about it :-)
