Hello friends... Earlier, during my school days, I frequently visited Wikipedia for collecting notes for my projects. It helped me a lot in those times. The help and support that Wiki gave me happened just because of the thousands of human hours spent by Wiki contributors in creating and editing Wikipedia.

So, I am happy in joining Wikipedia to help it in its growth...

Yes! The wiki is still growing like a child and she still needs our support... ;)

Today's featured picture

De Viron Castle is a castle in the town of Dilbeek in Flemish Brabant, Belgium. Commissioned by the de Viron family, which settled in Dilbeek in 1775, the castle was built in 1863 by Jean-Pierre Cluysenaar. The Renaissance Revival castle was built on the ruins of a 14th-century fortification that was destroyed in 1862. One of the medieval towers, the Sint-Alenatoren, can still be seen in the park surrounding the current building and is named after Saint Alena, who lived in Dilbeek. The castle has served as the town hall of Dilbeek and housed the offices of the municipality since 1923, and was listed as a Belgian protected monument in 1990. This photograph shows the facade of De Viron Castle with the surrounding park in the foreground.
