Loevestein Castle (Dutch: Slot Loevestein) is a medieval castle in the municipality of Zaltbommel, Gelderland, the Netherlands.
The castle was built by the knight Dirk Loef of Horne (hence "Loef's stein" (stone) house) between 1357 and 1397. Until World War II Loevestein Castle was part of the Hollandic Water Line, the main Dutch defense line that was based on flooding an area of land south and east of the western provinces. Currently the castle is used as a medieval museum and function centre.
Loevestein is a water castle that was built between 1357 and 1368. It was built in a strategic location in the middle of the Netherlands, where the Maas and Waal rivers come together (just west of current day villages of Poederoijen and Brakel, in the municipality of Zaltbommel, in Gelderland). At first it was a simple square brick building, used to charge toll from trading vessels using the rivers. By 1372, the castle was under control of the Counts of Holland. In the 16th century (around 1575, orders given by William the Silent) it was expanded to a larger fortress surrounded by earthen fortifications with two (later three) stone bastions on the northern side, two moats, an arsenal, and housing for a commander and soldiers. The Castle was also part of the Hollandic Water Line.
It changed hands twice between the Northern Dutch and the Spanish during the Eighty Years' War: on December 9, 1570, it was taken by the Geuzen; ten days later by the Spanish again; and on June 25, 1572, it was retaken by the Dutch.
From 1619 the castle became a prison for political prisoners. One famous inmate was the eminent lawyer, poet and politician Hugo de Groot (Hugo Grotius) often presented as the "father of modern international law", who was serving a controversially imposed life sentence from 1619. In 1621, his wife Maria van Reigersberch, who was also staying at the castle, hid with him in a book chest that was regularly brought for them. He subsequently became the Swedish Ambassador to France for 10 years. Another high-profile inmate was the English Vice-Admiral George Ayscue.
Molen “De Zwaluw” te Kesteren.
De Zwaluw is een korenmolen in Kesteren in de Nederlandse provincie Gelderland.
De molen is in 2002 nieuw gebouwd voor de familie Timmer met gebruikmaking van onderdelen van een Duitse molen. De naam De Zwaluw is een verwijzing naar de verwoeste molen in Brakel die eens eigendom was van dezelfde familie.
De Zwaluw is een grote achtkante bovenkruier met bijgebouwen waarin in onder andere een restaurant gevestigd is. De roeden van het wiekenkruis zijn voorzien van het fokwieksysteem met remkleppen en zeilen. De molen is maalvaardig uitgerust met twee koppels maalstenen (een blauwe steen en een natuursteen) en maalt regelmatig op vrijwillige basis.

De Zwaluw is a corn mill in Kesteren in the Dutch province of Gelderland.
The mill was newly built in 2002 for the Timmer family using parts from a German mill. The name De Zwaluw is a reference to the destroyed mill in Brakel that was once owned by the same family.
De Zwaluw is a large octagonal upper porter with outbuildings that include a restaurant. The rods of the wicker cross are equipped with the breeding wick system with brake flaps and sails. The mill is equipped with two pairs of grinding stones (one blue stone and one natural stone) and grinds regularly on a voluntary basis.
It is my second attempt photographing mushrooms, and is my very first in creating a glowing mushroom shot. Surely need to learn more about it. Not enough details in the mushrooms, not enough skills in lighting them. Will try again. Comments, tips and tricks are welcome.
The Brakel house, which was completed in 1768, is part of the current Brakel estate, after an earlier house was destroyed by the French in 1672. The house and estate are located in the town of Brakel, in the Dutch municipality of Zaltbommel. The house was built near the ruins of Brakel Castle. This castle lost its residential function in the course of the 18th century (after more than 4 centuries of habitation) and fell into ruins within a century. Through an inheritance, Brakel came into the hands of Wilhelmus van Dam van Brakel in 1809. It was he who shaped the house and estate in the way it still stands today.
The house was built in a neoclassical architectural style, with the main house being connected to the coach house by means of a bell tower. In the 19th century it was customary to provide neoclassical (country) houses with or without white plaster. Houses in Gelderland such as house Verwolde and villa Brakkesteyn are good examples of this. What is special about Brakel house is that an intermediate form has been chosen in which the main house is only partially plastered in white. Only the walls to the left and right of the large windows at the front are plastered.
When Wilhelmus van Dam van Brakel had the estate laid out in the landscape style, the ruins of Castle Brakel were included in the park as a romantic accent. Including ruins in a park or landscaping was more common in the 19th century. However, Brakel is the only surviving example of this in Gelderland. During the construction of the park, the nostalgic and picturesque qualities of the ruin were emphasized. When the gardens (completed in 1811) were laid out, designs by landscape architect Hendrik van Lunteren were emphatically taken into account.

Driving home from the office in Namur often deviates me from the shortest / fastest track to go cloud chasing ... picture taken from the panorama tower in Brakel, just before a thunder storm rolls in. Better hurry if I don't want to end up soaked wet ;-) Stitched image from several iPhone pictures, processed in Panorama Stitcher and Luminar on Mac.
Or really just a bit into the fields before making a sharp turn and returning to the main asphalted road. Hey, it's the thought that counts!

Wanted to give a try photographing mushrooms in a forest. Seen many great shots of this topic. Shot those in a forest near Brakel. I used a extra Led light to create more contrast with its surroundings.
223 034 der evb Logistik bespannte am 09.05.2016 den DGS 69144 von Brakel (Kr. Höxter) nach Hmb Hohe Schaar und wurde zwischen Hameln und Weetzen bei Lüdersen erwartet.
Planmäßig gibt es nördlich von Detmold auf der KBS 405 bei Tageslicht abgesehen vom einmal im Monat verkehrenden Leerkesselzug aus Brakel mit EVB keinen Güterverkehr. Im Jahr 2013 wurde der damals noch alle ein bis zwei Wochen eingelegte Brakeler Ölzug von DB Cargo gefahren und wegen der Sperrung des Rehbergtunnels in beide Richtungen über Herford geführt. Am Abend des 19.07.2013 erreicht 232 583 mit dem Leerzug nach Hamm (Westf.) meinen Heimatbahnhof Lage (Lippe).

Das Bild zeigt das (teilweise) angestrahlte Rathaus in Brakel. Und obwohl der Marktplatz, auf dem ich stand um dieses und einige weitere Bilder zu machen in der Fußgängerzone liegt, ist das Bild doch unter Lebensgefahr entstanden: innerhalb von nicht mal 10 Minuten meinten 3 jüngere Autofahrer mit aufgemotzten AUDI, Mercedes und einem BMW, das dieser Platz doch absolut ideal zu wenden sei. Der letzte Wagen hielt dabei einen maximalen Abstand von ca. 5 cm zu mir (Bein ersten waren es ja immerhin noch ca. 30 cm. Danach habe ich dann die Fotosession abgebrochen...

Der planmäßig jeden Sonntag verkehrende Kesselzug Hamburg - Brakel wird in der Regel von den Eurorunnern der Baureihe 223 bespannt. Alle bei der EVB eingesetzten 223 befinden sich noch im EVB Outfit und nicht im neuen blauen Farbkleid. Am 05.06.2017 rollte 223 034 mit dem Zug bei Gandesbergen in Richtung Süden. Es war zwar ein Montag, jedoch der Pfingstmontag weshalb der Zug an diesem Tag verkehrte.
De Batterij bij het Gelderse dorp Brakel is een voormalig fort van de Nieuwe Hollandse Waterlinie in de gemeente Zaltbommel. Het is een restant van kleine verdedigingswerken die het westen van de Bommelerwaard beschermden tegen aanvallers. Het aangrenzende terrein is het natuurgebied "de boezem van Brakel", vroeger inundatiegebied. De Batterij onder Brakel is een onderdeel van de Nieuwe Hollandse Waterlinie in Brakel in de gemeente Zaltbommel. De batterij is min of meer gelijk aan de Batterij onder Poederoijen. De beide batterijen zijn kleine verdedigingswerken die het westen van de Bommelerwaard afsluiten tegen aanvallers. De Batterij onder Brakel ligt aan de Waaldijk ten westen van Brakel en ten oosten van Slot Loevestein en de Wilhelminasluis in de Afgedamde Maas. Ten zuiden van het fort zijn diverse militaire sluizen die noodzakelijk waren voor de inundatie van het voorterrein. Het werk ligt aan de Nieuwedijk. Samen met Batterij onder Poederoijen vormden zij de Tussenstelling aan de Nieuwedijk. In 1487 werd een overeenkomst gesloten tussen Brakel en Poederoijen om samen de nieuwe dijk aan te leggen als scheiding tussen het polderdistrict Bommelerwaard beneden de Meidijk en de buitenpolder Munnikenland. De dijk is diverse malen doorbroken en dit is nog zichtbaar aan de wielen tegen de dijk. De Tussenstelling maakte een betere verdediging mogelijk van Slot Loevestein en de vestingstad Woudrichem en maakte aanpassingen aan deze laatste twee minder urgent. |||||| The fortress near the village of Brakel in Gelderland is a former fortress of the Nieuwe Hollandse Waterlinie in the municipality of Zaltbommel. It is a remnant of small defenses that protected the west of the Bommelerwaard from attackers. The adjacent site is the nature reserve "the bosom of Brakel", formerly inundation area. De Batterij onder Brakel is part of the Nieuwe Hollandse Waterlinie in Brakel in the municipality of Zaltbommel. The battery is more or less the same as the Battery under Poederoijen. Both batteries are small defenses that shut down the west of the Bommelerwaard against attackers. The Battery under Brakel is located on the Waaldijk west of Brakel and east of Loevestein Castle and the Wilhelmina lock in the Dammed Meuse. South of the fort are several military locks that were necessary for the inundation of the forecourt. The work is on the Nieuwedijk. Together with Batterij onder Poederoijen they formed the Intermediate Position on the Nieuwedijk. In 1487 an agreement was concluded between Brakel and Poederoijen to jointly build the new dike as a separation between the polder district Bommelerwaard below the Meidijk and the outer polder Munnikenland. The dike has been breached several times and this is still visible on the wheels against the dike. The Intermediate Theorem enabled a better defense of Loevestein Castle and the fortified city of Woudrichem and made adjustments to the latter two less urgent.
Heute fuhr wieder der zweiwöchentliche Brakeler Ölzug. Passend dazu hatte ich mal Urlaub und das Wetter stimmte auch. Als Besonderheit wurde der Zug abweichend von 232 413 anstelle der üblichen EVB-Eurorunner bespannt. Bei Herste gelang nach zweistündiger Wartezeit die gewünschte Aufname des Zuges.
DGS 56479 Delmenhorst Df - Brakel (Kr Höxter)
Das obige Bild zeigt mein erstes Foto eines EVB Eurorunner im schicken neuen EVB-Design. Dieses entstand am 20. März 2022 am Nachmittag bei Dauelsen zwischen Langwedel und Verden. Die moderne SIEMENS Diesellok hatte einen KeWa-Ganzzug im Schlepp und war auf dem Weg von Delmenhorst nach Brakel. Ich war am Morgen bei Ottersberg mit zwei interessanten Fensterzügen in den Tag gestartet. Als diese erfolgreich erlegt worden waren und das Licht langsam bei 90° Grad angekommen war, habe ich mir überlegt was ich bei diesem schönen Wetter als nächstes anstellen sollte. Zur Auswahl stand die Fotokurve bei Büschelskamp oder noch etwas weiter an die "Bremer Schiene" fahren. Dort lockte der sonntägliche mit Lokomotion-Bespannung verkehrende Paneuropa/Terratrans-KLV. Ich entschied mich für Dauelsen. Pünktlich zum Sonnenstand war ich vor Ort und auf den Schienen tat sich erstmal gar nichts. Mehr als eine Stunde tat sich in beide Richtungen nichts in Sachen Güterverkehr. Einzig die ICE, IC, RE und Regio-S-Bahnen fuhren fleißig vorbei. In der nächsten Fensterzugpause rollten dann aber endlich die ersten Frachtenzüge. Erstmal von hinten. Aber nur Metrans und DB. Aus Richtung Bremen kam als erstes gleich der obige Kesselzug. Ihm folgten dann noch zwei BoxXpress Containerzüge im Blockabstand. Danach waren wieder die Personenzüge an der Reihe. Wieder gefolgte von zwei Güterzügen in Form des gewünschten Lomo-KLV, der leider wieder mit der 185 662 bespannt war und einem leeren BLG-Autozug mit EVB Schraubeneimer. Im Anschluss wechselte ich für Nordfahrer nach Etelsen...

Doorwerth Castle
Knight Berend van Dorenweerd built a castle here around 1250, which was set on fire in 1260. Twenty years later, the castle was rebuilt, and was enlarged over the years.
In 1558, Daem Schellart van Obbendorf became lord of Dorenweerd. He had the castle thoroughly rebuilt. From 1637, another scion of the van Obbendorf family went to work on the castle. This cost so much that he succumbed to debts, leaving the castle in the hands of the biggest creditor, the Count of Aldenburg.
The van Aldenburgs rarely lived at the castle, so it slowly fell into disrepair. In 1837, the castle was sold to Baron van Brakel, who restored it and also took up residence there. After the death of his heir, the castle fell back into disrepair.
From 1910 to 1915, Doorwerth castle was thoroughly restored.
Doorwerth is close to Arnhem, where the Battle of Arnhem raged in 1944. German bombs and allied shelling destroyed much of the castle.
Restoration began in 1956, a job that took 37 years. Since then, the castle has served as a museum.
--------------------
Ridder Berend van Dorenweerd bouwde rond 1250 hier een burcht, dat in 1260 in brand werd gestoken. Twintig jaar later werd de burcht terug opgebouwd, en werd in de loop der jaren vergroot.
In 1558 werd Daem Schellart van Obbendorf heer van Dorenweerd. Hij liet het kasteel grondig verbouwen. Vanaf 1637 ging een andere telg uit de van Obbendorf-familie aan de slag met het kasteel. Dit kostte zoveel dat hij bezweek onder de schulden, waardoor het kasteel over ging in handen van de grootste schuldeiser, de graaf van Aldenburg.
De van Aldenburgs woonden slechts zelden op het kasteel, zodat het langzaam in verval kwam. In 1837 werd het kasteel verkocht aan baron van Brakel, die het kasteel herstelde en er ook ging wonen. Na de dood van zijn erfgenaam kwam het kasteel terug in verval.
Van 1910 tot 1915 werd kasteel Doorwerth grondig gerestaureerd.
Doorwerth ligt kort bij Arnhem, waar in 1944 de Slag bij Arnhem woedde. Duitse bommen en geallieerde beschietingen verwoestten een groot deel van het kasteel.
In 1956 begon men met de restauratie, een werk dat 37 jaar duurde. Sindsdien doet het kasteel dienst als museum.
