Château d'Argenteuil, Renaissance château in Waterloo, Belgium

The Château d'Argenteuil stands in a 700-hectare estate bordering the Forêt de Soignes, featuring French Renaissance architectural elements and grand halls.

The current castle, completed in 1858 by architect Jean-Pierre Cluysenaar, replaced an earlier structure that burned down in 1847.

After his abdication, King Leopold III of Belgium and his wife Lilian Baels resided at the château, transforming it into a royal residence.

The château currently functions as part of the European School of Brussels-Argenteuil, containing educational facilities including science laboratories and music rooms.

The property includes the Vivaldi and Mozart rooms, which serve as venues for conferences and educational activities within the historic setting.
