I'm guessing they were painted by the Belgian army to brighten up the rooms / morale.

It's like a strange, surreal art gallery.

I agree with Lynnie! And Motts is that flooring wood or brick?

Wallpaper....

But I could see this as part of a screen saver.

I never get tired of looking though these.

They do look like wooden planks, but I believe they were stone squares placed over a brick / wood / mortar foundation. If they were wood, I imagine they would have rotted out long ago with all the weather that gets in here... the entire fort was pretty solid.

As interesting as those paitings are it is strange that they are done on the wall in a prison. Nice photo though Motts.....

The pictures make sense if this is a fortress. As do the super thick walls.

Agree with the surreal art gallery comment. I keep forgetting where we are!

Well, the prison was down in the basement so to speak...and i doubt it was only used as a prison. It probably served multiple functions. These upper levels obviously entertained various officers or even government officials.
