DESCRIPTION: The
History of the Château du Lac The
Château du Lac was built in 1904 by the architect Wendrickx
for the "Compagnie Internationale des Eaux Minérales"
who wished to exploit the local mineral water springs and create
a spa. It started its life as a bottling plant for mineral waters
in 1934 when it was bought by John Martin who began to bottle Schweppes
Indian Tonic there, to complement the range of beers (Guinness &
Gordons), which he had been importing since 1909. SHOW

These
springs of rarest purity, Bonne Fontaine, Argentine and Geneviève,
are recognised by the Royal Academy of Medicine and are still flowing
today near the Château. In 1981, production moved to more
modern premises at Rue du Cerf in Genval. A few years later, in
1985, the Martin family decided to restore the Château du
Lac.
