The Haunted Palace in Egypt: Baron Empain Palace

After this achievement, he got the title of Baron, which was bestowed on him by the King of Belgium.

His company was also active in India. When he visited India, he fell in love with Hindu architecture.

In 1906, when he returned to Egypt, he set up another company named the Cairo Electric Railway.

After setting up this company, he purchased 25 square kilometres of desert dunes from the British, who were still ruling Egypt.

He bought this place to turn it into a beautiful French-style urban oasis with luxurious Islamic-inspired buildings.

After seven years of it, he fulfilled his dream. He set up a beautiful city like no other city in the world.

Moreover, the Baron Empain Palace got built at its core with an abundance of beautiful relief work.

It is also believed that the palace’s iconic tower can rotate once so that The Baron Empain Palace can enjoy 360-degree views of the entire city that Empain has created.

When his family started living in the palace, soon his sister fell to death from the tower window. Moreover, later, his daughter was found to have died inside the castle.

Usually, it is said that her daughter died because she committed suicide because of the physical disabilities she was wearing since her birth.

After the death of the baron in the year 1929, his palace was inherited by Baron’s son and, after that, his grandson.

In the year 1957, his grandson decided to sell this palace at auction, and a group of investors bought the castle. The group of investors was from Saudi Arabia.

Unfortunately, they failed to maintain that palace, and it fell into disrepair. After many years, the Egyptian government repurchased it in the year 2005.

It was hoped that the authorities would repair the palace. After two months of being open to the public, the castle was closed without any explanation.
