Belgian Royal Family
- Ciergnon Castle
Ciergnon Castle, or the Royal Castle of Ciergnon (Château Royal de Ciergnon; Koninklijk kasteel van Ciergnon) is a residence and summer retreat of the Belgian Royal Family situated near the town of Ciergnon in the municipality of Houyet, province of Namur. The castle is a property of the Belgian Royal Trust.
The domain with its woods, river and vast hunting grounds was acquired in 1840 by King Leopold I of Belgium at the request of his spouse Queen Louise-Marie. At first a hunting lodge was erected on a beautiful terrace overlooking a deep forested valley. The present château was erected only later on the demand of King Leopold II of Belgium. The edifice was designed by his court architect Alphonse Balat. Since then it has always served as a holiday retreat to the Royal Family. In 1960 it was the venue for the press presentation of King Baudouin's fiancé Dona Fabiola de Mora y Aragon.
More recently the children of Philippe, King of the Belgians, Princess Elisabeth, Duchess of Brabant, Prince Gabriel, Prince Emmanuel and Princess Eléonore were baptised in the chapel of the château. (Wikipedia)

King Willem Alexander often said that the house is "an oasis of peace."
He and his family have spent part of their summer holidays to Rocca dei Draghi, it seems to be a beloved destination also by Princesses Amalia, Alexia and Ariane.
King Willem Alexander and Queen Maxima, during the holidays, teach their children cultural activities in Tuscany. Culture is richly available in the Italian region, with Florence just around the corner.
"We do a lot of walks, the flora and fauna here is very different." "The princesses say this is much better than in the Netherlands" the King said.
