Aurel Sercu Posted 5 May , 2007 Share Posted 5 May , 2007 Steve, Sorry, I can't send you a map. But I hope this will help. On leaving Ypres through the Lille Gate, after 800 meters there is the "Kemmelseweg", the road to Kemmel. On the right (left is Komenseweg.) Right after turning right you cross the railroad. You continue in the Kemmelseweg, and approx. 800 meters from where it began on the right side is where Swan Chateau was. Now a residential area "de Witte Huizen" (White houses). You continue, and after 2km from the beginning of the Kemmelseweg, on the right side, is where Chateau Ségard was. Now it's a farm, some distance from the road. But at the road side there are two original columns of the castle, broken off, one with a little statue of the virgin. A little past where the Chateau was, there is a roundabout now. If you arrive there you are ... too far. Hope this helps. Aurel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurel Sercu Posted 5 May , 2007 Share Posted 5 May , 2007 Steve, Just found a map. Chateau Ségard and the crossroads where now there is a roundabout in the bottom left corner. Aurel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
