The castle is situated between the villages of Domburg and Oostkapelle in the northern part of the peninsula Walcheren, Zeeland, the Netherlands. It was built in the beginning of the 13th century, but since that time often (partly) destroyed and changed. During WW II the castle was again heavily damaged. In 1948 the outside of the castle was repaired, followed in 1977 by a thorough restoration of its interiors. Because of all these changes not much remains of the real medieval castle. The castle as shown on this image mostly dates back to the 17th and 18th century.
Hope you'll enjoy this image. Thank you in advance for your comment.

If practice makes perfect and nobody is perfect, then why practice?
It has a look of a relatively new castle, with all those renovations. I bet the interior is pretty fancy, too. Gorgeous shot, Mr. C.

Cameras are like people--sometimes they lose focus.
Looks like a lot still left there, Cornelius. Always man has to be running around destroying things. He never learns anything.
It's a really nice shot on a really nice day there.

You only live once. OR MAYBE NOT!
A beautiful castle ... I can never understand why someone would want to try to destroy such structures. I like how the greenery adds a partial natural frame to the castle. Wonderful capture Cornelius & thanks for the history.

This is a lovely capture of this castle. I love the line of long grasses or reeds which run from the bottom left hand corner across to the right of the frame, which lends another dimension to this wonderful scene. The castle looks like it has been restored really well and is set in beautiful grounds. That sky is also lovely. Well done Cornelius - yet another master piece!

You got just the right amount of the flavor around the castle in this one Sir C. Beautiful area and a castle to stir the mystical magical spirit.
