De Viron Castle is a castle in the town of
Dilbeek in Flemish Brabant, Belgium. Commissioned by the de Viron family, which settled in Dilbeek in 1775, the castle was built in 1863 by
Jean-Pierre Cluysenaar. The
Tudor-style castle was built on the ruins of a 14th-century fortification that was destroyed in 1862. One of the medieval towers, the Sint-Alenatoren, can still be seen in the park surrounding the current building and is named after
Saint Alena, who lived in Dilbeek. The castle has served as the town hall of Dilbeek and housed the offices of the municipality since 1923, and was listed as a
Belgian protected monument in 1990. This photograph shows the facade of De Viron Castle with the surrounding park in the foreground.

About me
edit
I'm a professional German-to-English science translator with 20 years of experience. I also studied history in NY and Germany, with foci on the history of women, economics and art. I'm still learning how Wikipedia works, so please accept my apologies for n00b errors and I'd welcome any constructive advice you'd like to add to my talk page.
Why am I on Wikipedia?
edit
Wikipedia is one of the most wonderful human projects ever undertaken. I use it in almost every translation job now. Recently I was looking around for Ger>Eng history texts to translate pro bono and was delighted to find that was a way I could contribute to Wikipedia.
