Night view of the Castle of Batel

I have taken my daughter to a party at the Castle of Batel, and I could not resist taking a night picture of it.Having completed its construction in 1924 by grower and honorary consul of the Netherlands Luiz Guimaraes, the Castle of Batel was bought by Moses Lupion, former governor of Paraná, in 1947, the year it was listed by Heritage. It was considered a suitable location for hosting events in 2002.

The Castle of Batel





Built in the 1920's in a land with almost 10,000 m2, by the Herbalist and grower Luiz Guimaraes, who after that trip to France was impressed by the castles of the Loire. In 1928, the house was opened. Authorities in Brazil and abroad stayed in the castle, which was overturned in 1974 by the Historical and Artistic Heritage of Paraná. The building was restored and expanded, now housing a center of events.
