Kasteel Duivenvoorde (Castle Duivenvoorde) is in the town of Voorschoten, Zuid-Holland in the Netherlands. It was first mentioned in 1226, making it one of the older castles in Zuid-Holland

   

The castle is remarkable in that it was never sold; it was inherited by several different noble houses, sometimes through the matrilineal line, something that can be said of very few Dutch castles. For the first five centuries of its history, the castle was owned by one and the same family, namely the Van Duivenvoordes, who gave their name - at that time, van Duvenvoirde - to the castle. Though the castle was named thus, the van Duvenvoirdes properly formed part of the House of Wassenaer, an ancient noble family that has played an important role in Dutch history. Toward the end of the 17th century an owner of Kasteel Duivenvoorde, Johan, retook the name of van Wassenaar, upon which the House of Duivenvoorde became merely another name in the castle’s history.

   

This is a fantastic castle for photographers. I hope you like the shot I made here.

The legend of the four stripes is the legend that explains the origin of the flag and the shield of Catalonia, first appeared in 1551 in the second part of the General Chronicle of Spain.

 

The story explains that the origins of the flag are in Guifré el Pilós, the last count of Barcelona appointed by the Frankish kings, and the first to give inherit their domains, initiating the Dynasty Counts of Barcelona.

 

Specifically, is told that the four stripes were created after a battle against the Normans, when the Frankish king dip his hand in a open wound of Guifré el Pilós, and then he passed all four fingers above the golden shield of the Count of Barcelona. With this act was created the shield of the House of Barcelona, symbol of the new sovereign conquered, and, over the years, this four red stripes become the Catalan flag.

 

Now, the Catalan flag is composed by 4 red vertical stripes, that are the blood of Guifré el Pilós, and between each red stripe, there is a yellow one, that symbolizes the shield of the Count.

  

Construcció

 

Les Quatre Columnes originals

Les columnes formaven part d'un projecte d'urbanització de la muntanya de Montjuïc que Puig i Cadafalch va presentar el 1915, amb l'objectiu de celebrar una exposició el 1917 centrada sobre el tema de l'electricitat i les indústries elèctriques. Volia presentar Barcelona al món com a capital del Mediterrani, i Catalunya com un país amb un govern modern, la Mancomunitat.[1] El projecte es va desestimar però Puig i Cadafalch el va tornar a presentar amb vistes a l'Exposició Universal de 1929. Es van construir el 1919 i van ser la primera construcció de tota la zona.

 

Les columnes, situades a la plaça de les Belles Arts,[2] havien de representar Catalunya: la columnata representaria l'herència grega i un edifici amb cúpula homenatjaria l'herència romana. El projecte global havia de tenir el seu moment àlgid com a eix central de la futura Exposició Universal de 1929.[3]

 

Les columnes van ser un dels primers elements a construir-se durant el procés d'urbanització de la muntanya. Es van construir amb maons arrebossats que imitaven la pedra i tenien 20 metres d'alçada i 2,5 metres de diàmetre. L'arquitecte tenia pensat coronar-les amb 4 figures representatives, quatre victòries alades, projecte que no es va arribar a realitzar.

 

Enderrocament

La Font Màgica ocupa el lloc on inicialment es van construir les Quatre columnes

El pas del temps deixà obsolet l'objectiu de dedicar l'exposició exclusivament a les indústries elèctriques, i el 1925 es va decidir que es denominaria Exposició Internacional de Barcelona. El canvi d'objectiu feu que es reorganitzés l'exposició dedicant-la a tres vessants: la indústria, els esports i l'art. En aquest nou període Puig i Cadafalch va ser relegat per les seves idees catalanistes i la seva vinculació amb la Mancomunitat, i l'organització recaigué en mans del marquès de Foronda. Pere Domènech i Roura va ser nomenat director de les obres.[4]

 

Les columnes van ser enderrocades l'any 1928, poc abans d'una visita de Primo de Rivera a la ciutat. Durant la seva dictadura va ordenar eliminar sistemàticament tots els símbols públics de catalanisme, per tal que no tinguessin el ressò mediàtic que podia donar-los l'Exposició Universal de 1929, que havia de tenir lloc a Montjuïc.

 

La seva dictadura fou molt agressiva vers el catalanisme, i fins i tot va arribar a modificar els noms de molts pobles: els va castellanitzar i en va arrencar els cartells dels carrers escrits en català.[5] Pel mateix motiu la dictadura va anomenar finalment Poble Espanyol el complex que s'havia de dir Iberona, en homenatge als ibers, primers pobladors de les terres catalanes, i va donar el nom de plaça d'Espanya a la plaça des d'on accedia al recinte de l'exposició. També va fer col·locar dues torres venecianes a l'entrada.

 

Amb el temps, Franco fins i tot va arribar a inhabilitar Puig i Cadafalch com a arquitecte.[6]

 

Reconstrucció

 

Procés de reconstrucció de les 4 Columnes

 

Operaris finalitzant les obres de reconstrucció

Amb el restabliment de la democràcia van sorgir diverses veus que proposaven reconstruir les columnes, i fins i tot l'Ajuntament de Barcelona en va aprovar la restitució el 1994, però no es va arribar a un acord sobre la seva ubicació més adequada.

 

L'any 2001, l'arquitecte Joaquim Espanyol va presentar un projecte de restitució de les 4 columnes, però el projecte fou desestimat per la classe política.

 

Un any després, el 2002, la Xarxa d'Entitats Cíviques i Culturals dels Països Catalans pels Drets i les Llibertats Nacionals, que representava més de 60 associacions, va començar a demanar adhesions, signatures i suport per a la seva reconstrucció.[7] Progressivament, diverses personalitats del món de la política i la cultura, com Jordi Pujol, Pasqual Maragall, Ernest Benach, Gabriel Ferraté, Vicent Partal, Antoni Tàpies, Isabel-Clara Simó i Josep Maria Ainaud de Lasarte, entre d'altres, van donar suport a la iniciativa.

 

Entre 2005 i 2007 es van produir diverses pronunciacions de diferents estaments públics: el 9 de novembre de 2005 el Parlament de Catalunya va aprovar una resolució sobre la possible recuperació del monument, i un any després l'Ajuntament va assegurar que el 2007, 50è aniversari de la mort de Puig i Cadafalch, seria un bon any per reconstruir les columnes. Es van iniciar llavors converses entre Ferran Mascarell, llavors regidor de Cultura de l'ajuntament, i els responsables de la xarxa cívica.

 

Durant el 2007 l'Institut d'Estudis Catalans va organitzar l'exposició itinerant “Puig i Cadafalch arquitecte i polític i el monument de les quatre columnes de Montjuïc”, que es va poder veure, entre altres llocs, a l'Ateneu Barcelonès, a Mataró, Girona, la Bisbal d'Empordà i Les Borges Blanques.

 

El ple del 27 de juny de 2008 al Parlament de Catalunya va aprovar una proposició no de llei,[8] amb el suport de tots els partits polítics i presentada per ERC, per promoure la restitució de les Quatre Columnes, en homenatge als patriotes catalans. El 2009 es va presentar un projecte de construcció, ideat per l'equip d'arquitectes Rosselló-Sangenís, seguint el projecte original de construcció de Puig i Cadafalch i alguns manuals de construcció clàssica.[9] Sapic va ser l'empresa encarregada de l'execució del projecte.[10]

 

L'Ajuntament de Barcelona va presentar el projecte als mitjans de comunicació el 10 de novembre de 2009.

 

Les obres de reconstrucció van començar durant el primer trimestre de 2010. Inicialment es va preveure inaugurar el monument per la diada de l'Onze de Setembre o per les festes de la Mercè, però les obres es van allargar.[11] Es va informar llavors que cada columna tindria una alçada de 18,7 metres.[12] El dia 4 de novembre de 2010 es va enterrar una urna commemorativa a la base de les columnes, amb la documentació generada per diverses entitats cíviques durant el procés de reclamació de la reconstrucció de les columnes. El dia 7 de desembre es va retirar la bastida que s'havia instal·lat per construir-les.

 

La reconstrucció, amb un pressupost de 2,5 milions d'euros, s'ha realitzat amb anells de pedra artificial -una barreja de ciment, granit i marbre blanc- col·locats a pes amb una grua i entrellaçats mitjançant peces metàl·liques.[13] Tot i això, la seva construcció s'ha realitzat a la plaça del Marquès de Foronda, entre la Font Màgica i el Palau Nacional de Montjuïc, una mica més amunt del seu emplaçament original.[14] L'alçada definitiva de les columnes, incloent-hi el pedestal, és de 20 metres.

 

La inauguració oficial es va realitzar el diumenge 27 de febrer de 2011, amb la presència d'Artur Mas, president de la Generalitat, Núria de Gispert, presidenta del Parlament de Catalunya, i Jordi Hereu, alcalde de Barcelona.[15]

 

A la base d'una de les columnes hi figura la inscripció:

 

«Restitució, com a acte de justícia històrica, de les quatre columnes enderrocades per la dictadura l'any 1928 pel seu caràcter de símbol de Catalunya wikipedia dixit

Loom is a type of machine that is made from cotton yarn or cotton made from cotton. And those who sow clothes using loom are called weaving. The history of Bangladeshi loom industry is very ancient. Various districts of Bangladesh inherited this ancient heritage. The culture of this country is involved in this industry. The weavers are our holders and traders. It is also one of the largest cottage industry or folk art of the country.

The Pavillon Vendôme, most attractive inherited from the Grand Siècle follies, was built by order of Louis Mercoeur, Duke of Vendôme, to house his passionate love affair with Lucretia de Forbin Solliès, called the Belle of Canet. Surrounded by a sumptuous French garden, the main facade of the pavilion superimposes the three classical orders and is adorned with beautiful baroque Atlanteans, garlands of fruit and a mask which, they say, are the characteristics of the Bella Canet.

Noch als Schüler bekam der Sekretär von seinen Eltern eine geerbte, silberne (Schnupf-)Tabaksdose geschenkt, die ihm schon immer gefallen hatte. Für ihren ursprünglichen Zweck hatte er keine Verwendung, aber er fand als grosser Freund der bekannten Eukalyptus-Pastillen «FISHERMAN’S FRIEND» eine neue Anwendung. Hierfür ist die Dose ist immer noch in Benutzung. Höchste Zeit für eine kleine Hommage.

While still a high school student, the Secretary was given an inherited silver (snuff) tobacco tin by his parents, which he had always liked. For its original purpose he had no use, but he found a new application as a great friend of the well-known eucalyptus lozenges "FISHERMAN'S FRIEND". For this the tin is still in use. High time for a little homage.

Udny Castle is a tower house in the parish of Udny, southwest of the village of Pitmedden and northeast of the hamlet of Udny Green, Aberdeenshire, in the northeast of Scotland. The area is generally flat but the castle is sited on the highest ground and can be seen for a considerable distance. Its exact construction date is unknown, but its foundations probably date from the late 14th or early 15th century. Additional storeys were added and a later extension, described as a "modern mansion", was incorporated but subsequently demolished. It is a Category A listed building.

Sited on the highest area in a generally flat terrain, the castle can be seen from a considerable distance. The exact construction date is not known but it was probably initially constructed by the Udny family in the 14th or 15th century. The property is first recorded when it is shown on a charter for David II instigated by Ronald of Uldney.

MacGibbon and Ross suggested a construction date of the turn of the 16–17th centuries, but the indentation of the upper floors and thickness of the foundation walls suggest a much earlier date. The main construction work of the keep is believed to have spanned over 100 years and been undertaken by three consecutive lairds; it is reported to have "ruined them all".

The Udny family also owned Knockhall Castle and lived there until 1734 when Knockhall was destroyed by fire; they then returned to Udny. Jamie Fleeman, the Laird's fool, was responsible for saving the family papers from being destroyed in the fire.

The castle was abandoned sometime around 1775 then repair work was undertaken in 1801.

Colonel John Robert Fullerton Udny inherited the estate in 1802. He had been an army officer since 1797 but retired after his marriage to Emily Fitzhugh in 1812. Thereafter he only visited the estate occasionally as his main residence was in London. The couple had one son, John Augustus Udny, but he died a bachelor in 1859. The Colonel's wife died in 1846 after which he had an affair with Ann Allat whom he married on 2 January 1854. However, the couple had a son, John Henry Udny, born out of wedlock on 9 May 1853. A legal case was heard by the House of Lords as to whether John Henry was entitled to inherit the estate as his parents had been unmarried when he was born. The legal arguments describe how the Colonel had wished to do restoration work on the castle but could not afford to do so "owing chiefly to his connection with the turf".

The Colonel died in 1861. The House of Lords had decided in favour of John Henry and he inherited the estate as "though illegitimate at his birth, [he] was legitimated by the subsequent marriage of his parents".

In 1887, it is recorded as owned by John Hay Udny and had been in the family's ownership for several centuries.

Bartizans were included when an extra storey was added in the 17th century.

A mansion house in the baronial style was added in 1874–75 to the design of architect James Maitland Wardrop (of the Wardrop and Anderson company) but was subsequently demolished during the 1960s. Wardrop's son, Hew, was also an architect and undertook some of the decorative work at the castle. He died suddenly of appendicitis while working at the castle on 4 November 1887.

In 1964, restoration work was begun on the original tower house and the mansion house was demolished. Historic Scotland listed the castle as a Category A listed building in April 1971.

 

This one is for Macro Mondays' assignment "inheritance". It is a very small part of a link bracelet I inherited from my beloved grandmother. Unfortunately she died in 1980 of cancer. The bracelet contains several different stones. I am not sure, but I think this is amber.

 

Have a wonderful Monday everyone and thanks for your views, comments and faves!

 

HMM!

We inherited this great, old white picket fence with our new plot at the community gardens. Happy Fence Friday, my friends, have a great weekend!

We inherited Ollie and his brother Nigel and sister, Callie a number of years ago when a friend passed away. John always called him that "My beautiful Ollie!" I think of John ever day that Ollie is with us. He is such a dignified cat. He doesn't bother anybody, and mostly, nobody bothers him . . . with a few exceptions! Needless to say, you don't mess with Ollie for long. He is a big cat! His brother, Nigel, however, is ever bigger, while sister Callie is diminutive. :)

I inherited this butterfly/dragonfly pin from my mom. I wear it on my winter coat lapel (sometimes my hat). I found it again this week as I was digging out my winter woolies. Mom's been gone three years now...hard to believe

This is my very last piece, inherited from the amount of jewellery found in Clare's flat. Each one of her friends was also invited to choose a piece in her memory.

 

I was always in awe, not only of the jewellery which Clare created, but also of the way she photographed it. I believe she had a light box, which I do not have.

 

This was actually my preferred choice for Macro Mondays this week but I wanted a better shot. Any background I used was reflected in the metal and the concave shape of the item made it really difficult.

 

If anybody has any tips to help in photographing jewellery, I'm listening..... My settings are in the tags + quite a bit of 'faffing'!

I inherited this wood carving from my parents when they moved to assisted living. Although not Buddhists, my dad did study it and Buddhist teachings helped him lead a better, more peaceful and mindful life. I treasure this piece of art for its symbolism.

I inherited this necklace from my mum. It isn't anything special and not valuable, but it's so versatile going with almost everything I wear for an evening out or having friends round for a meal.

 

Thank you for your favourites. :O)

my daughter and granddaughters will be going home today , but we had a brilliant few dats together. yesterday we visited Castell Coch and had great fun in the rain, and later in the afternoon we all tried to do a watercolour and ink sketch of the castle. It was lovely all being creative together. The rain seems to have stopped now so things are looking up. Let the Dancers Inherit the Party is by Sea Power and was on their setlist the other night and sounded wonderful.

I inherited this Tiger lily (Lilium lancifolium or Lilium tigrinum) from my MIL. Its tall and bold orange and black blossoms are a mid-summer garden treat.

  

I inherited this orchid, a Dendrobium delicatum native hybrid-cultivar but its heritage seems a bit uncertain because of native, nursery and domestic hybridisation and cultivation. It was struggling in a pot hanging from a tree and struggling. After repotting and shelter it grows and flowers sporadically. The blooms, about 20mm across, open in sequence from bottom to top. This is the first bloom of the current modest crop.

My two year old son's eyelashes for Macro Mondays "Inherited" theme.

 

Shortly after my son arrived, my wife pointed out that he had inherited my long eyelashes. Not a favourite feature of mine, but it is always nice to see something of you in your child.

 

This was a challenging theme and I almost sat this one out. This was a last minute spontaneous shot.

 

Thanks for viewing and happy Macro Monday!

My father inherited this watch when his mother died. It was given to his father by a man named Alan, who clearly felt that he owed his life to my grandfather, then aged 19, for disobeying orders, staying with him in the face of enemy advance, and getting him to the field hospital after he was seriously wounded at Gouzeaucourt, France in 1917.

The Human inherited this vintage chest of drawers from her grandparents. It makes a purrfect new napping spot for me. Honestly, it's great for naps! I know the Human is jealous. She'd kill for a nap. I know you are jealous too. But I ain't sharing!

My inherited horse from a dear friend that passed...hard to believe she's been gone for two years; I miss talking to her about horses and commiserating over hay. I think Donna would love this image. It was a rocky start with Red and the rest of my horses (many people told me to give up on him) but he has settled down quite nicely now that my oldest horse Aztec has reclaimed his status in the herd as the BOSS. Not sure what happened but it's a Godsend. Red is very intelligent and has developed great trust in me, and trust is everything. I believe animals act out and grieve too, now that I witnessed it first hand. Red is a real people lover and the first one to come up to see what I'm up to. He also lets a rather excited 16 month old sit on his back without anyone holding him. His training will resume in the Fall when the mosquitoes are gone.,,,so far so good. He's not a fan of mosquitoes and tried to come in the house with me several times. LOL

This necklace is made up entirely of 1920s glass bugle beads that were made in Toruń in northern Poland (then Pomerania). There are some unique shapes, and being made of glass, they are very heavy.

 

However, what is remarkable about these beyond their amazing and unusual looks, is their equally amazing and unusual history.

 

Between 1923 and 1939, these beads and millions like them were produced from a very successful workshop on the outskirts of Toruń and sent to fashion houses both locally and in cities like Prague, Vienna and Paris. Then, with the coming of Hitler's invasion of Poland and the Second World War, the owners of the workshop closed their doors. They took the beads they had in the workshop and buried them in boxes in the ground beneath the floor of the workshop and then fled, hoping to return to reclaim them some day. And so the beads remained buried beneath the flagstones throughout the Second World War when the workshop was razed, and beyond during the re-building of post-war Poland. Although still in possession of the land on which the workshop had stood, the owners and their descendants never returned to Toruń to claim them, and the beads became a thing of legend. Nearly seventy years later, descendants of the original owners returned to Toruń to live, and decided to see if there was any truth to the stories of 'buried treasure'. Much to their astonishment and delight, what they uncovered beneath the flagstones were thirty great boxes, still well preserved in the earth, of 1920s and 1930s glass bugle beads!

 

The beads were split up amongst a few relations, including friends of mine who are artists. Knowing how much I love vintage clothing, beads and the 1920s, they made me a gift of four stunning necklaces made from the bugle beads in the ten boxes they inherited. This is the 'Naszyjnik Różany' or 'Rose Necklace'.

 

The theme for "Looking Close… on Friday" for Friday 13th of December is "multicoloured necklace", so I thought this necklace of buried treasure was a suitable choice. As it is near Christmas, I have given my image a Christmassy feel with presents, Christmas garlands and bows. I hope you like my choice of subject for this week's theme, and that it makes you smile!

These stamps were inherited from my Granddad to my Dad then Dad to me.
