Castle RYCKEVELDE

At the end of the 16th century, a nobleman, Monsieur Wautelet, built a mansion and a farmhouse, both of which have been preserved in modified form.

After the death of Pieter de Tollenaere in 1743, his heirs sold the castle to Pieter-Augustinus Le Gillon and his wife Marie de l'Espée. Their granddaughter Marie-Thérčse de Vivero and her husband Piette Wautelée came into possession at the beginning of the 19th century due to inheritance. After their death, it was their son Adolphe Wautelée and daughter Jeann-Nathalie Legrand Wautelée. The latter gave it to her confidant Joseph de Marthe from Pau. It was rented to August-Octaaf de Schryver (father of August E. de Schryver).

The current Neo-Gothic castle was completed in 1929 by Baron Rafaël Gilles de Pélichy and was inhabited by the family until 1946.

Hi John,

The reflections on the water are assets to the composition. The point of view is showing the details of the Ryckevelde castle. The light is bringing out the beauty of the colors. Have a nice day.

Hello John,
A photo from your archive, and a very good one. It makes me wonder why you kept this hidden for more than 12 years. You placed the castle well to the side and it is nicely balanced by the very large tree. You also used trees well as frames on both sides. The best of all are the magnificent reflections in the lake. Colours and light are also excellent in this fine photo.
Best regards,
Gert

Hallo John, that magnificent castle has a long history. Its reflection on the pond is well captured. The construction is surrounded by a lawn and a forest. Fine colors, good sharpness, instructive photo note, regards.

Ilonka1974 (8609) 2020-01-30 12:13

Hi John,
The sky serves as a nice backdrop for this castle. The green trees add even more color to the image and the reflection of the building in the water makes for an interesting composition.
Best regards
Janusz

Royaldevon (70503) 2020-01-30 12:46

Hello John,

This is a beautiful photograph of an equally beautiful building!
It looks like a Gothic palace!
As always, the composition is carefully considered and works superbly. The castle and its shimmering reflection are placed nicely off-centre, with the surrounding trees and water revealing the setting.

Is the castle unoccupied now or is it used as a public building.

My warm regards,
Bev 😊

Hello John,

The church has been well positioned on the vertical 1/3 axis at left. Good sharpness with wonderful reflections in the mirror like surface of the water. Tfs!

emka (147873) 2020-01-31 23:40

Hello John, Delightful picture from your archive. Why it waited so long to be posted? Splendid building with one wall covered by red ivy. Fantastic reflections. Marvellous colours and sharpness.

Have a nice weekend

bertolucci (14052) 2020-02-01 2:42

Hoi John, Dit kasteel heeft kethedraalachtige allure.Fraai hoe het samen met zijn reflectie de linkerkant van het frame domineert. De boom en de bosschage rechts balanceert de compositie mooi. Natuurlijk is de klaarheid en de detialweergvae opnieuw op niveau. Groeten uit een mistig Rotterdam. Bert.

maloutim (13617) 2020-02-01 5:21

What a beautiful picture of this neo-gothic castle and its reflection in the lake !
I love the variety of the colours ( trees, lake, castle of red bricks partly covered with Virginia creeper)
What a pleasant walk it must provide !
TFS and have a great weekend !
Marie-Louise.

jean113 (19585) 2020-02-01 8:15

Hello John, I am surprised that you have kept this hidden away for so long.
A well considered composition, the light was perfect in highlighting all the colours.
Super sharp details. The reflections are quite special.
Kind rewards, Jean.
