A property as beautiful and magnificent as the Chateau Miranda would have made such a wonderful hotel and could have lured so many tourists from all around the world. In spite of the high aesthetic appeal of the castle, no investors responded to the search calls of owners who were looking for investors to fund the transformation of the castle to a flourishing hotel.
This is yet another mysterious thing about the Chateau Miranda. While the owners did not have enough funds to repair or maintain the huge property, they turned down the repeated takeover offers of the Celles Municipality.
Although no one has serviced the clock tower for ages, it still continues to work. No one knows what engineering is still making the clock run as it is found very mysterious by the onlookers. Although the clock does not give the exact right time (that would be too much to expect actually), but the mechanism inside the massive clock is not dead either.
The basement of the Castle has a few rooms that have blackboards in them. While the presence of the blackboards point to the fact that those could have been the classrooms for teaching the orphan children, what certainly does not make sense is why they should be in the basement! The castle has enough rooms above the ground that could be spared for taking classes.
