Château Fond'Roy, Eclectic castle in Uccle, Belgium.
Château Fond'Roy is a stone building in Uccle that combines diverse architectural styles on its facade. The structure displays ornamental windows and a dominant central tower rising above the surrounding sections.
Jean Berckmans, a stockbroker from Saint-Gilles, built the structure between 1909 and 1910 as a private residence. This construction marked its initial use as a dwelling for a wealthy family.
The building reflects the tastes of wealthy Brussels residents who built grand estates in this area during the early 1900s. Such properties showed how prosperous families displayed their status through architecture and land.
The building sits at 49-51 Avenue du Prince d'Orange in Uccle and now operates as part of a healthcare facility. Visitors should note this is an active care center and not open for casual tours.
The property changed hands multiple times throughout its existence, once belonging to Mobutu Sese Seko, the former President of Zaire. This ownership shift reveals an unexpected chapter in the building's past.
