It is their love for old stones that got Belgians Viviane and André Vossen interested in Ad Francos Castle which was totally abandoned. Considering to revive this huge castle was a real challenge because everything needed to be redone.
Restoring the building and making it a place to live, became their goal, while ensuring the respect for the glorious past of the Castle.
