The roof on the castle on the top part of
http://www.euro-support.be/temp/so.jpg  has also been removed for air
traffic safety.
*Guess you mean the "Kasteel van Ham"?*

Yes, here it is, as it was, with roof:

Steenokkerzeel was part of the ban of Brussels in the old Duchy of Brabant.
This Brussels area is actually the real original "Brabant". When the
counts/dukes of Leuven acquired the Brussels territory, they changed the
overall name of their territory into Brabant.
*Didn't know that. So how did the dukes call their territory before that
time?*

The *County of Leuven*.
I do not have access to my books momentarily, so I just refer to:

http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hertogdom_Brabant

Roger
