Belgian
conceptual artist Wim Delvoye is the proud owner of a
medieval castle after emerging as the highest bidder with an
offer of EUR 3.3 million on Monday. The artist who is best
known for his tattooed pigs and his faeces-producing
installation Cloaca is planning to covert the
Corroy-le-Château into a museum of modern art.
The Corroy-le-Château is one of the best preserved
medieval castle in the Benelux, with massive round towers
and a moat. The castle dates back to the original builder,
William of Brabant. The oldest parts of the castle were
built in 1095. It has been inhabited by the family of
Marquis Olivier de Trazegnies for over 900 years. But the
members of his family have been squabbling about the future
of the castle for years. The dispute finally ended up in
court, where a judge ordered the sale of the property. There
were three active bidders vying for the castle in the public
auction. It included a historical association, the front for
Marquis de Trazegnies in his attempt to keep the property
that he has been renovating and maintaining for over 45
years.
