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.

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
I believe these were the last two surviving buildings in downtown Ponta. (Pronounced pon-TAY) The small town town flourished as a shipping center in the early 1900s and into the 1920s. During and after the great depression they gradually lost all of their industry and commercial businesses. Their post office closed in 1972. These commercial buildings were demolished not long after this photo was taken in 2010-2011.

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).

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

I've been waiting years to touch this one up. The sign has been gone for a decade, and I believe the building has been demolished as well.
Pingmen or Ping Gate, Suzhou
Due to the account capacity constraints, this account will cease to be updated after 28 June, 2024.
I'm sorry to tell you friends that my new account (www.flickr.com/photos/runen3) was instantly cancelled just as I posted my first photo. I have written to enquire as to the cause. There is little hope of a resolution though. Maybe I will say goodbye to Flickr forever.
Good luck to all of you!
This city gate is called "Pingmen" or "Ping Gate", located in the northwest of the old city of Suzhou. The gate is said to have existed 2,500 years ago, but was blocked until 1928, when it was reconstituted to facilitate the traffic of the nearby railway station outside the city. Then in 1958, when all the walls of the city of Suzhou were demolished, the gate of course ceased to exist.
However, in 2011-2012, the Suzhou municipal authorities rebuilt a section of the city wall at the location of the gate, directly south of the Suzhou railway station, with three arches on the wall, known as the "Ping Gate", and built on top of the wall above the gate an pseudo-ancient city tower, which had never existed at the Pingmen before 1958.
I have been watching this site quickly be demolished. In recent years it was a known to locals as Hosanna Heights which saw parts of the site utilized as international student accommodation. (approx. 1990 - 2015)
"The land was originally purchased by the Catholic Church Endowment Society in 1940. The site was shortly after developed with the Catholic seminary complex with the
first building being completed in 1942 and used to prepare students for priesthood in the Archdiocese of Adelaide and the Diocese of Port Pirie." - Campbelltown City Council - Agenda - Development Assessment Panel.

This complex was one of the most interesting places I have ever visited, even 17 years (!!) later. It had so many interconnected buildings, from different time periods and so much crust and decay and color that I knew it was special even though I was relatively new to exploring and it wasn't filled with machinery. This area, from what I recall from so long ago was an in-between area, between an open sunken area where they had vats to more of a storage area like this one where the stored product. There was water everywhere, so the already great atmosphere was amplified by the reflections. SOme of the rooms had these wonderful sounds. This is from long before smart phones and portable video equipment, but I still recall it when I see the images.
I'm going to share a few shots and then a proper feature later on, I have an extensive write-up from an old website of mine, so I will need to dig that up. This place is the one I regret not spending more time in since it was so chill and easy to get into and was demolished totally by 2007. There is still nothing there, probably because it was a superfund site.
