De Oude Knegt is a thatched corn mill in Akersloot.
One of the 1194 working Dutch windmills
More Info about this mill @ The Molen Database
Following local initiatives in the 1970s, the predecessor of this flour mill was rebuilt in Akersloot in 1981. It was built after an old flour mill from the village that was largely demolished in 1925.
This mill was hit by a sky-rocket in the New Year's Night from 2000 to 2001 and burned down completely. The octagon first stopped, but in the end was too bad to keep. As a result, the mill has been completely rebuilt and has been in operation since the beginning of 2004.

The origins of the San Salvador Cathedral in Zaragoza date back to 1118, when King Alfonso I Battler regained the city from the hands of Muslims. In the place of the present cathedral there was a mosque, which in 1121 was adopted after necessary renovations into a Christian church.
The construction of a new, late Romanesque cathedral began in 1140. The new church had a basilica layout consisting of a transept and three aisles ended with apses. From 1204 to the 15th century, all the kings of Aragon were crowned in this church.
In 1403, the old dome collapsed, and the reconstruction of the entire building began. Two towers were added and a new papal tiara shaped dome was built. Decorated in 1409 by master Mohammed Rami, it had many of the features of Arab Mudejar art.
In the 17th century, the old and dilapidated Mudéjar tower was demolished and a new one was built in the baroque style to give the cathedral its contemporary shape. The building represents a variety of styles; from Romanism, through Mudejar, to the Renaissance and Baroque.
The cathedral has been recognized as a national monument and placed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Początki katedry w San Salvador w Saragossie, sięgają roku 1118, kiedy król Alfons I Battlera odzyskał miasto z rąk Muzułmanów. W miejscu obecnej katedry stał meczet, który w 1121 roku adoptowano po niezbędnych remontach na kościół chrześcijański.
Budowę nowej, późnoromańskiej katedry rozpoczęto w 1140 roku. Nowy kościół miał układ bazylikowy składający się z transeptu i trzech naw zakończonych apsydami. Od 1204 roku do XV wieku wszyscy królowie Aragonii byli koronowani w tym kościele.
W 1403 roku runęła stara kopuła, rozpoczęto przebudowę całej budowli. Dobudowano dwie wieże oraz zbudowano nową kopułę w kształcie papieskiej tiary. Udekorowany w 1409 roku przez mistrza Mohammeda Ramiego, posiadał wiele cech sztuki arabskiej Mudejar.
W XVII wieku rozebrano starą i zniszczoną wieżę Mudéjar a wybudowano nową w stylu barokowym, która nadała współczesny kształt katedrze. Budowla reprezentuje różnorodność stylów; od romanizmu przez mudejar, aż po renesans i barok.
Katedra uznana została jako pomnik narodowy i umieszczona na liście Światowego Dziedzictwa UNESCO.
Regno Unito, Scozia, Edimburgo, Primavera 2023
Victoria Street, nel centro storico di Edimburgo, è uno dei luoghi più fotografati della città. la sua curva dolce e le facciate colorate dei negozi la rendono meta preferita per turisti, cartoline e spot televisivi.
Victoria Street fu costruita tra il 1829-1834 come parte di una serie di miglioramenti al centro storico, con l'obiettivo di migliorare l'accesso alla città. Sul lato nord della strada, vi è una terrazza, sopra una serie di archi che si è successivamente riempita di negozi. Oggi la strada è un incantevole angolo del centro storico, ma ci sono ancora alcuni aspetti di un oscuro passato. Qui vi era la casa del maggiore Weir, un uomo noto come 'il Mago del West Bow', che fu giustiziato per stregoneria nel 1670. Si pensava che la sua casa fosse stata completamente demolita al tempo della costruzione di Victoria Street, ma ora sembra alcune parti siano sopravvissute, nascoste nel Quaker Meeting House sulla terrazza superiore. Un pensiero interessante i turisti in cerca dell'imprevisto.
Victoria Street in Edinburgh Old Town is one of the most photographed locations in the city. Its gentle curve and colourful shopfronts making it favourite spot for tourist photos, postcards and TV adverts.
Victoria Street was built between 1829-34 as part of a series of improvements to the Old Town, with the aim of improving access around the city. On the north side of the street a terrace was built, with a series of arches underneath which were later filled with shops. Today the street is a charming corner of the Old Town, but recent speculation suggests that a relic of its darker past may still exist. This was the location of Major Weir’s house, a man notorious as ‘the Wizard of the West Bow’, who was executed for witchcraft in 1670. It was thought that his house was completely demolished when Victoria Street was built, but it now seems that some parts may still exist, hidden in the Quaker Meeting House on the upper terrace. An intriguing thought for those visiting to shop, dine or looking for the unexpected.
Aldham, Essex – St Margaret and St Catherine
The church is situated in Aldham, Essex which is about 6.5 miles from Colchester, the nearest large town.
Built in 1855, it replaced an older Medieval church situated about a mile away that was demolished a year earlier.
Much of the building materials come from the older church, water basin (Piscina), Porch timbers, Doors and some of the Pews were built using the wood from the old pews. With the addition of a West Tower and Northwest Vestry, new materials (such as Bath Stone) were used in this construction.
The Architect was Edward Charles Hakewill, who was responsible for designing St John of Jerusalem in South Hackney and St James in Clapton both London churches as well as the restoration of a number of Suffolk churches.
The East window, dedicated to Philip Morant, who was a rector from 1745-1770, also Essex Historian and the Chancel North window were designed by Ward and Hughes.
It is possible that the dedication of St Margaret and St Catherine refers only to the bells and not to an earlier dedication, records do not show this fact.
There are in the graveyard, two Commonwealth War Graves plus two other gravestones of Soldiers that died in WWI.
This will be the final posting from this wonderful church.
You can find the Bonne-Chière mill in Bruges on the 'Kruisvest', on the outskirts of the city. The mill has been built in 1844 and served as a corn and oil mill. The mill was origianlly from another town nearby, 'Olsene' it was demolished there and rebuilt on its current place in 1911 to replace a mill that was damaged due to a heavy weather storm in 1903. On its current location the mill has never been used, it's only there as a tourist attraction.
The mill has three so called attics: the stone floor, where the grinding seats are located, the grinding floor where the flour was collected, and the lower loft that was used to stack bags. The mill is not open to the public. You can find it at this address: Kruisvest, Bruges.
In total there are 4 mills on the Bruges 'Kruisvest' The other ones are The Sint-Janshuismolen, De Nieuwe Papegaai ( The New Parrot) and the Koelewei mill. (from Amazing Belgium)
The fortifications of the town were built after the Mongol Invasion. It had four gates, which opened to the south, west, north and northeast. The plain of the town slightly slopes north, so the southern gate, which was located on the highest point, was called Upper Gate, while the northeastern gate, which was located on the lowest point, was called Lower Gate. The walls were defended by wide moats.
The trade road coming from the central regions of Hungary left the town towards Poland through the Lower Gate. From the town gate a little wooden bridge led to a half-round barbican, which still stands, surrounded by moats. From the barbican a drawbridge led across the moat. After the fortifications of the town lost their significance, the wooden bridges over the moats were demolished and a new stone bridge was raised with two 5-metres wide arches in 1821. A similar stone bridge was built to connect the barbican with the town but it had only one arch.
The Lake Placid Club built the first ski jump on this site in 1920, using the hillside itself as the jump surface. The jump was referred to as the Intervales 35-meter jump. On February 21. 1921, the first competition was held at this site, drawing 3,000 spectators. The record jump for the day was 124 feet, set by Antony Maurer. In 1923, the jump was enlarged to fifty meters, and in 1927, a new steel tower was built, raising the jump to 60 meters. In 1928, the tower was raised to 75 meters; this was the tower used for the 1932 Winter Olympic Games. In 1977, the old tower was demolished to make way for new 70 and 90-meter jumps, used for the 1980 Winter Olympic Games. In 1994, the landing hills were re-graded to bring the jumps into compliance with current rules, and increasing their height to 90 and 120 meters 170
Happisburgh lighthouse stands in the middle of a field quite a way inland (~400yds)......
It was erected by Trinity House in 1791 along with another on the cliff-top, which was demolished in 1884 before the sea could do the job, coastal erosion being a very big problem along this coast).

Excerpt from Wikipedia:
St. Elizabeth's is a Roman Catholic church in Nuremberg in southern Germany. It is dedicated to Elizabeth of Hungary.
The chapel in the free imperial city of Nuremberg was dedicated to Elizabeth of Hungary in 1235. After the Reformation, this was the only Roman Catholic church in the Protestant city of Nuremberg. It soon became inadequate for its congregation, and the church entered into protracted negotiations with the city magistrate, which lasted from 1718 to 1780. Finally agreement was reached for a new church, and the old one was demolished in 1784.
Franz Ignaz Michael Neumann, son of Balthasar Neumann, drew up plans for the new building. The foundation stone was laid on 19 May 1785. Neumann died on 29 September 1789, and responsibility was taken over by Peter Anton von Verschaffelt. However, a large overrun in costs led to the resignation of Verschaffelt in 1789. Eventually topping off was completed in 1802 and in 1803 the dome was crowned with a golden cross.
In 1806 the church was secularised. On 27 January 1885, the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Bamberg purchased the church, and further work was done to complete the church to the original plans. It was eventually completed in 1903.
Clay Center, Nebraska
My heart is broken. These once substantial buildings on the town square across the street from Clay County Courthouse, have been demolished.
Hinksey Path, South Thamesmead.
Part of the wider Thamesmead Estate, built 1967-74 in a Brutalist style.
This part of the estate (low rise apartment buildings) is due to be demolished and replaced with newly built homes. Several of the other apartments near here are now unoccupied and have been boarded up.
The teal-coloured panel beyond the concrete staircase is part of a hoarding that surrounds a wide expanse of land where similar buildings have already been demolished in readiness for new construction work to begin.
I spotted this derelict building and thought it would be a great grungy photo backdrop. But I didn’t get in quick enough and it’s fully fenced and mostly demolished now. Photo for posterity.
Well,it's not inside the planter they're looking in.The shot was taken on Gansevoort St in Manhattan's historic Meatpacking District.The district is one of the few remaining places in the city that still have streets paved with Belgian blocks,what we erroneously have been called 'cobblestone" Gansevoort St was named after Ft Gansevoort,a fort that was once in the area that was demolished in 1849.The fort was named after Peter Gansevoort,an American Revolutionary War general.One historic produce market is nearby,the Gansevoort Market (originally called the Farmer's Market).It began as an open-air market buying and selling regional produce in 1879.Another,called The Washington St Market (1812) had ten meatpacking plants in the district until it was demolished in 1960.By the 1900s there were over 250 slaughterhouses and meatpacking plants in the area,hence the name of the district.By 2003,there were only 35 left.Today,the area is known for its upscale boutiques,restaurants,and high-priced apartments.The southernmost entrance to the Highline park and the Whitney Museum,are also nearby.

Norwegian owners are known for keeping their ships in good shape. The A.F. Klaveness & Co. general cargo ship M/S Bougainville, delivered by Nederlandsche Dok & Scheepsbouw Mij., Amsterdam in December 1947, is a case in point. The photograph by Walter E. Frost shows the 140.9 m (LOA) Bougainville in Vancouver 20 years later, still looking like new.
In 1971 Bougainville was sold to Hong Kong Islands Shipping Co. Ltd, Singapore and renamed Lungkwu Chau. The following year she was scrapped in Taiwan.
Such a pity that she was demolished. Would have been a wonderful museum ship for future generations to learn and enjoy.

According to local legend, Helfštýn is named after the robber Helfried of Linva, who founded it. The castle was probably built in the last quarter of the 13th century. Around 1320 Vok of Kravař, a member of a prominent Moravian noble family, became the owner of the castle. Helfštýn remained in the possession of the Kravař family for more than a hundred years and underwent far-reaching structural changes during this period. Construction work began on a larger scale in the first half of the 14th century, but the main reconstruction of the castle into a Gothic fortress did not take place until the end of the 14th and the beginning of the 15th century. The Kravařs mainly improved the fortifications of Helfštýn. They replaced the makeshift fortification of the old parkland with a thick stone wall with four bastions, built a prismatic tower over the entrance to the castle itself and secured it with a drawbridge, built a fortified forecourt on the south side and cut the ridge of the hill with a moat carved into the rock.
The era of the Pernštejn family
In 1474, William of Pernštejn took over the castle estate and proceeded to its further reconstruction. In the last quarter of the 15th century,
Helfštýn Castle was enlarged with a thoroughly fortified, extensive farm forecourt (completed in 1480) and another forecourt, which formed a new outpost defending the entire enlarged building. At the same time, the fortifications of the old Kravaře castle were improved with bastions and a new system of towers and gates. The castle's ground plan was definitively given an elongated shape, and in its external form the perfect fortification system significantly overlapped all the other architectural elements.
Renaissance reconstruction
At the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries, the inner core of the castle was rebuilt into a Renaissance residence. The old castle palace was demolished, along with part of its original Gothic fortifications, and a magnificent Renaissance palace was built on the vacant space, in sharp contrast to the extensive system of late Gothic fortifications that surrounded it.
The destruction of the castle
In 1656, quite extensive demolition work was carried out, which, although it did not damage the fortifications of Helfštýn too much, definitively deprived it of the character of a manor house. And thus began the long-term destruction of the castle. The destruction was accelerated in the second half of the 18th century by the Ditrichstein family with demolition works. These attempts culminated in 1817, when part of the inner castle was destroyed by artillery fire.
Present day
The present-day character of the castle is that of a fortress with six gates and a series of 18th-century buildings and ramparts. Since the 19th century, the castle has been presented as a tourist and heritage site. Nowadays it has become a natural cultural centre of the region, with various cultural events taking place here throughout the season
After chasing a daylight move the weekend before, I found out that the long closed elevator in the small farm community of North Star was slowly being demolished. Not far north of here, the newest customer for GLC, Zeeland Farms makes this once large elevator complex seem like a day's progress on construction of the new facility. After pulling 62 cars out, and spotting 25, this extra GLC job heads back south toward Owosso past the elevator. This shot was made a lot easier thanks to the 2 new lights I had added to my bag earlier that night, which shows just how big this complex really is.
These sunflowers were growing in Norfolk, UK, in 2020. However, sunflowers will now always remind me of Ukraine. The situation in Ukraine grows worse day by day. Everybody I meet is concerned about Ukraine. There’s been a huge voluntary effort in Norfolk to send the supplies needed for everyday survival. Over 130,000 people in the U.K. have registered interest in offering a home to Ukrainian refugees. But it is scratching the surface whilst we watch Ukraine being demolished.

Former Fort Ord, Monterey, County, Ca.
Former Fort Ord, Monterey County, Ca.
Took a little trip to the former Fort Ord today. This place is immense, and at its peak had as many as 50,000 soldiers stationed there. Though many buildings have been demolished, there are still hundreds of buildings and structures left, with most being allowed to rot. Since the base was closed in 1994, much of the land has been repurposed. The biggest change is probably the establishment of the California State University Monterey Bay.
To see all of the decaying facilities is to get just a bit of a hint of the immense amount of blood and treasure our country has wasted in pursuits of warfare. It should be visited by more people. (No trespassing signs everywhere make it difficult.) And, as immense as this place is, it is only a microcosm of all the waste involved in human bellicosity.
Who's been eating our parsley? OK, I'll put my hand up, it was me!

The Tempodrom is a concert hall and event location founded in 1980 on the West-Berlin side of Potsdamer Platz. The original Tempodrom was a large circus tent and housed shows and concerts rooted in the alternative culture West-Berlin was so well known for during the late 1960s, 80s, and early 90s. It was relocated several times, the last move to its now permanent location on the site of former Anhalter Bahnhof became necessary when the German Chancellery was built nearby the Reichstag building, and then Chancellor Helmut Kohl expressed safety concerns about an event location so close by. The "New Tempodrom" was designed by renowned architectural firm Gerkan, Marg and Partners. The design of the building's white roof recalls the original venue, and is shaped like a large circus tent. The shape of the roof's top is also reminiscent of the Cathedral of Brasília (built by Oscar Niemeyer), and looks a little like a crown. The futuristic appearance of the New Tempodrom is quite a contrast to the ruins of old Anhalter Bahnhof on whose site it is located since its re-opening in 2001. Anhalter Bahnhof was one of Berlin's most important railway stations, known as "Gateway to the South", but was badly damaged during World War II. Today only the centre portion of its facade still exitsts. The other remains of Anhalter Bahnhof were demolished in 1960.

Eine weiteres Foto vom schönen Fotowalk mit Sabine.R, marionrosengarten, --Conrad-N-- and H. Roebke. Hier seht Ihr das Dach des Tempodroms in Berlin-Kreuzberg. Das Tempodrom wurde 1980 in einem großen Zirkuszelt auf der West-Berliner Seite des Potsdamer Platzes von Irene Moessinger gegründet, die sich damit einen Lebenstraum erfüllte. Viele Jahre lang war es Spielstätte für die alternative Szene; es wechselte auch mehrfach seinen Standort, zuletzt Ende der 90er-Jahre, als es dem Neubau des Kanzleramts weichen musste, weil der damalige Kanzler Helmut Kohl Sicherheitsbedenken bzgl. eines Veranstaltungsortes in unmittelbarer Nähe zu seiner "Waschmaschine" hatte. Mit dem Gelände des ehemaligen Anhalter Bahnhofs (von dem ja nur das Eingangsportal nach Weltkriegs-Zerstörung und endgültigem Abriss im Jahr 1960 übrig geblieben ist) wurde ein permanenter Standort ganz in der Nähe des Gründungsortes gefunden. Das Architekturbüro Gerkan, Marg und Partner, das für die Neugestaltung des nunmehr festen Gebäudes verantwortlich zeichnete, griff mit der Dachgestaltung auch die Zirkusidee des originalen Tempodroms wieder auf, ließ sich aber auch von Oscar Niemeyers Kathedrale von Brasília inspirieren.
Ich wünsche Euch ein schönes Wochenende, liebe Flickr-Freunde. Immer schön cool bleiben bei diesen Temperaturen!
View from a central seat of Berliner Dom.
In 1940, the blast waves of Allied bombing blew part of the windows away.
On 24 May 1944, a bomb of combustible liquids entered the roof lantern of the dome.
The fire could not be extinguished at that unreachable section of the dome.
So the lantern burnt out and collapsed into the main floor.
Between 1949 and 1953, a temporary roof was built to enclose the building.
On 9 May 1967 the then still undivided Evangelical Church of the Union decided a committee for the reconstruction of the Supreme Parish and Cathedral Church, then located in East Berlin.
The government of the Eastern German Democratic Republic did not oppose the work of the committee due to the concomitant inflow of Deutsche Marks.
In 1975, reconstruction started, simplifying the building's original design and demolishing the northern wing, the 'Denkmalskirche' – Memorial Church.
Compared by some to the Medici Chapel, it had survived the war completely intact but was demolished for ideological reasons by the communist government due to it being a hall of honour for the Hohenzollern dynasty.
This resulted in scaffolding for restoration appearing on the church while detonation charges were applied to its undamaged rear.
The government also demanded the removal of as many crosses as possible.
The demolition and redesign cost 800,000 marks, while the restoration (done on the cheap) cost just 50,000 marks.
The Berlin Cathedral Building Society now seek to rebuild the Denkmalskirche.
In 1980, the baptistery and wedding church was reopened for services.
The restoration of the nave was begun in 1984.
On 6 June 1993, the nave was reinaugurated in an event attended by Federal Chancellor Helmut Kohl and televised nationwide in Germany.
There has been discussion to restore the dome and surrounding cupolas to their original appearance, but this has not occurred due to lack of funds. (Source: Wikipedia)
CUPULA DE LA CATEDRAL DE BERLIN, 2008
Vista desde un asiento central de la Cúpula de la Catedral de Berlin.
En 1940, las ondas expansivas de los bombardeos aliados hicieron volar parte de las ventanas.
El 24 de mayo de 1944, una bomba de líquidos combustibles entró en la linterna del techo de la cúpula.
El fuego no pudo ser extinguido en esa sección inalcanzable de la cúpula.
Así que la linterna se quemó y se derrumbó en el piso principal.
Entre 1949 y 1953 se construyó un techo provisional para cerrar el edificio.
El 9 de mayo de 1967, la entonces todavía indivisa Iglesia Evangélica de la Unión decidió un comité para la reconstrucción de la Parroquia Suprema y de la Iglesia Catedral, entonces situada en Berlín Oriental.
El gobierno de la República Democrática Alemana del Este no se opuso a la labor del comité debido a la concomitante entrada de marcos alemanes.
En 1975 se inició la reconstrucción, simplificando el diseño original del edificio y demoliendo el ala norte, la "Denkmalskirche" - Iglesia Conmemorativa.
Comparada por algunos con la Capilla de los Médicis, había sobrevivido a la guerra completamente intacta, pero fue demolida por razones ideológicas por el gobierno comunista debido a que era un salón de honor de la dinastía Hohenzollern.
Esto hizo que aparecieran en la iglesia andamios para su restauración mientras se aplicaban cargas detonadoras en su parte trasera no dañada.
El gobierno también exigió la retirada del mayor número posible de cruces.
La demolición y el rediseño costaron 800.000 marcos, mientras que la restauración (hecha a la ligera) sólo costó 50.000 marcos.
La Sociedad de Construcción de la Catedral de Berlín pretende ahora reconstruir la Denkmalskirche.
En 1980, el baptisterio y la iglesia matrimonial volvieron a abrirse a los servicios.
La restauración de la nave se inició en 1984.
El 6 de junio de 1993, la nave fue reinaugurada en un acto al que asistió el Canciller Federal Helmut Kohl y que fue televisado a nivel nacional en Alemania.
Se ha hablado de restaurar la cúpula y las cúpulas circundantes para devolverles su aspecto original, pero no se ha hecho por falta de fondos. (Fuente: Wikipedia)
