Miranda Castle, also known as the Chateau de Noisy, was built in 1866 by the English architect Milner for the Liedekerke-Beaufort family. Their descendants remained in occupation until World War II, when it was taken over by the National Railway Company of Belgium as an orphanage. It was later converted to a school, but has been empty since 1991. Wikipedia states the obvious when it says that “the enormous building, now in a derelict state, has become a favourite venue of urban explorers.”
