A descriptive and historical guide to the principal castles, grottoes and mausoleums of Belgium, written by Charlé de Tyberchamps and printed in Brussels in 1821 for travellers and general readers. Its engraved views show chateaux set in landscaped grounds, one a symmetrical neoclassical facade with flanking pavilions and a gravel approach, the other a broad classical block seen through tall trees; a designer might take from them the ordered symmetry of early nineteenth-century estate architecture and its formal garden settings.
