The Kurhaus of Scheveningen, The Hague in the Netherlands is a hotel which has been called the Grand Hotel Amrâth Kurhaus The Hague since October 2014. It is located in the main seaside resort area, near the beach.
History
The Kurhaus was built between 1884 and 1885 by the German architects Johann Friedrich Henkenhaf and Friedrich Ebert. It consisted originally of a concert hall and a hotelwith 120 rooms. Having suffered serious damage by fire, it was rebuilt between 1886 and 1887. The ceilings were painted by the Brussels artist Van Hoeck and his large workshop. Several kings and heads of state sojourned in the Kurhaus during its heyday.
Until the mid 1960s, the Kurhaus remained a public attraction as a major concert hall, at which many top artists performed. The Rolling Stones performed at the Kurhaus on August 8, 1964, and had to flee the building due to the vast numbers of excited fans outside.
Ike & Tina Turner performed at the Kurhaus on February 11, 1971. The show was aired on Dutch television.
A large number of celebrities have stayed at the hotel. The guestbook includes members of various royal families such as Crown Prince Harald of Norway, government leaders such as Winston Churchill and Mikhail Gorbachev and celebrities such as Joan Crawford, Audrey Hepburn and Bon Jovi. The first signature is from the then 13-year-old Queen Wilhelmina together with her mother Queen Regent Emma. The Hague author and dandy Louis Couperus was among the frequent visitors.
And in 2024 we stayed in the hotel as well.

This week's theme for Mosaic Montage Monday was Exterior Lighting. A globe street light illuminates this vintage scene. HMMM!
As you liked yesterday's church, lets stick with the theme, shall we? But yesterday, we had an old and catholic one, today it's time for new and orthodox. The Cathedral of the Resurrection of Christ in Podgorica has only been finished in 2013.
It's even more impressive from the inside, but I'll show that to you tomorrow.

This lighthouse marks the western end of the Snæfells Peninsula in Iceland. Its newly painted orange is in strong contrast to the black lava field that surrounds it.

Le château des ducs de Bretagne est un château défensif et de plaisance situé à Nantes. Le château est classé monument historique depuis 1840. Le château a été construit au XVe siècle avec des éléments ajoutés aux XIVe au XVIIIe siècle. Fondé par les ducs de Bretagne au XIIIe siècle pour constituer une base défensive à Nantes, le château est devenu, sous François II, la principale résidence ducale bretonne. Sa fonction militaire est également utilisée par le duc lors de la Guerre folle au cours de laquelle il s'oppose au roi de France. Sa fille, la duchesse Anne, est plus tard contrainte d'épouser deux rois de France successifs, Charles VIII et Louis XII. Ces mariages entraînent l'union de la Bretagne à la France, définitivement scellée par un édit signé au château en 1532, par François Ier. Dès lors, le château perd son statut de résidence ducale pour devenir une forteresse royale. Il voit passer la plupart des rois de France, lorsque ceux-ci visitent la Bretagne, et il est la résidence officielle des gouverneurs de la province. Cependant, les séjours de ces derniers sont souvent brefs, à l'exception notable du duc de Mercœur, un gouverneur qui y tient une cour pendant les guerres de Religion. Sous l'Ancien Régime, le château sert aussi de prison d'État, ainsi que de caserne et d'arsenal militaire. Il ne subit aucune dégradation pendant la Révolution, mais l'explosion des réserves de poudre, en 1800, détruit une bonne part du monument. Propriété de la ville de Nantes à partir de 1915, il devient un musée en 1924. De 1990 à 2007, il bénéficie d’une rénovation de grande ampleur et il accueille, depuis 2007, le musée d'Histoire de Nantes.
The castle of the Dukes of Brittany is a defensive and pleasure castle located in Nantes. The castle has been listed as a historical monument since 1840. The castle was built in the 15th century with elements added in the 14th to the 18th century. Founded by the Dukes of Brittany in the 13th century to constitute a defensive base in Nantes, the castle became, under François II, the main Breton ducal residence. His military function was also used by the Duke during the Mad War during which he opposed the King of France. His daughter, Duchess Anne, was later forced to marry two successive kings of France, Charles VIII and Louis XII. These marriages lead to the union of Brittany with France, definitively sealed by an edict signed at the castle in 1532, by François Ier. Consequently, the castle loses its status of ducal residence to become a royal fortress. It sees most of the kings of France pass, when they visit Brittany, and it is the official residence of the governors of the province. However, the stays of the latter are often brief, with the notable exception of the Duke of Mercœur, a governor who held a court there during the Wars of Religion. Under the Ancien Régime, the castle also served as a state prison, as well as barracks and military arsenal. It did not undergo any degradation during the Revolution, but the explosion of the powder reserves in 1800 destroyed a good part of the monument. Property of the city of Nantes from 1915, it became a museum in 1924. From 1990 to 2007, it benefited from a large-scale renovation and, since 2007, it has housed the Nantes History Museum.

The priory was founded in 1190 by William Marshal, created 1st Earl of Pembroke, intended for a community of the Augustinian Canons regular and was dedicated to Saint Mary the Virgin and Saint Michael.
To support the new house, William granted it the whole fief of the district of Cartmel. It was first colonised by a prior and twelve canons sent from Bradenstoke Priory in Wiltshire.
The Saskatchewan Legislative Building was built between 1908 and 1912 in the Beaux Arts style to a design by Edward and William Sutherland Maxwell of Montreal. The Maxwells also supervised construction of the building by the Montreal company P. Lyall & Sons, who later built the Centre Block of the federal Parliament Building in Ottawa after the 1866 Parliament Building was destroyed by fire in 1916. Piles began to be drilled for the foundations during the autumn of 1908 and in 1909 the Governor General of Canada, the Earl Grey, laid the cornerstone. In 1912, Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught, by then the serving governor general, inaugurated the building.

The design contemplates expansion of the building by the addition of wings extending south from the east and west ends and coming together to form a courtyard. The plans originally called for the exterior of the building to be red brick but after construction had begun and red bricks were already on the site, Premier Walter Scott decided that Manitoba Tyndall stone would give the building greater grandeur and the plans were adjusted with the substitution increasing the building cost by $50,000. The total cost of construction came to $1.75 million by the time of its opening in October 1912, ten months after the assembly had begun meeting in the yet-uncompleted building.
Of historical significance, the table that was used during the meeting of the Fathers of Confederation in Quebec City in 1864 resides in the building's library, albeit with six feet of it removed. Lieutenant-Governor Edgar Dewdney of the North-West Territories brought the table to Regina, which was the capital of the territory at the time. It was used in the offices of the Indian commissioner for Manitoba and the North-West Territories until 1896. Six feet of the table length was removed from the middle so that it could fit within the limited confines of the Prince Edward Building, the temporary home of the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan while the Saskatchewan Legislative Building was under construction.
