Depicted is the 'Westhove' castle. This castle is situated on the northern part of the peninsula Walceren, Zeeland, The Netherlands.

It was built in the beginning of the 13th century. Because of WW II bombing, the castle was 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.

Very nice and well composed shot of the castle with all the towers against blue sky. Clear and sharp details overall Cornelius.

Very nice capture in which the stream and path are included, Cornelius. It has an inviting look that draws you in.

Frank said it so well, so I will agree. It's a shame that it has lost alot of the original look, but it's nice that they did restore it.

I think it looks fine. It is a shame that not more of the original remains but it still gives us a look into the Old World and illustrates history before our eyes.

I like the diagonal line created by the water SEA.
WWII was devastating for your country and many other countries. So many lives lost, not to mention the untold number of castles, homes, miscellaneous buildings and monuments.
Wonderful scene.

It still is wonderful to see Mr. C. - just knowing it was built in the 13th century originally.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
