I wanted show you this beautiful place instead of a product today.

Belgian Pearls is a blog I stumbled across and they featured 's-Gravenwezel Castle this week. This Belgian castle is in a suburb of Antwerp that by coincidence many of our friends lived in. We lived in the old town of Antwerp for 4 years and were lucky enough to visit the castle one day.
The castle is owned by famous Belgian antiques dealer and decorator Axel Vervoordt.
To be honest the photos, as beautiful as they are, don't do the castle justice.
It is funny to think of your neighbours in your small suburb could live in a castle

I will give a prize, a little piece of something famous in Belgium, to the first person to be able to spell phonetically the name of the castle. Condition of entry you are not of dutch origin because that would be cheating

Well I see I will have to entice you a little more. So the treat for the winner is something the Belgian's are very famous for making- Chocolate. You have never tasted good chocolate like Belgian chocolate. And as luck would have it our favourite Belgian Chocolatier has 1 store in Australia- & it's in Perth. So take a guess at how you pronounce the castle's name.
