In 1643, the manor (Beek en Donk) was sold by King Philip IV of Spain. The buyer was Jan Baptista van Elen. In 1646, the fiefdom was sold to Philips van Leefdael. He died in 1681, after which his son Johan Philips van Leefdael inherited the seigniory. In 1711, the seigniory came into the hands of the marquis of Asse, Jean de Coutereau, who was married to Johan Philips' daughter, Cornelia Johanna van Leefdael. Jean died in 1730 and Cornelia sold the seigniory in 1734 to Johan Peter van Raesfeldt. Johan Peter van Raesfeldt sold the estate in 1745 to Gisbert de Jong. In 1794, when Gisbert died, the manor came to Benjamin de Jong. He had two children: Johan de Jong (died in 1846) and Gerrit de Jong. The estate was divided between the two, but in 1809 Johan also received Gerrit's part. After the French era, the administrative rights of the manor were abolished. Rights such as the right to hunt still existed until 1923. One of the later residents, jhr. Jan Olphert de Jong van Beek en Donk (1863-1935), was governor of Curaçao. He was married to Mrs Elisabeth Maria Stern. The castle is still in the possession of the De Jong family, a branch of which has been elevated to the Dutch nobility and bears the name de Jong van Beek en Donk.
The oldest existing part is the gatehouse. This dates from around 1500. It has a natural stone entrance gate and a turret. The rest of the castle has been rebuilt regularly. A stone with the date 1658 probably indicates the year when it was rebuilt. Whether an earlier castle was destroyed during the Eighty Years' War is not known. In 1812, a large part of the castle was demolished and rebuilt, while in 1870 major rebuilding took place. In 1978, the building was restored. The castle is situated within a moat. The castle lies on the Aa. The paths on the 61 ha large estate are freely accessible, only the immediate vicinity of the castle is not. The estate consists for a part of forest (mainly poplars) and some farms.

Alblasserwaard (NL), maart 2017
De geschiedenis van de Alblasserwaard begint na de laatste ijstijd zo'n 10.000 jaar geleden. Door de wind werden zandduinen opgeworpen die nu nog in het landschap zichtbaar zijn en donken worden genoemd. In het centrum van de Alblasserwaard zijn nog diverse donken aanwezig, bijvoorbeeld De Donk (4,7 meter)
i never got a shot of it with te doors open, but you can see the horrible door gaps that thoes kits give you.

Donk is a beautiful Newfoundland and is one of the last of my autumnal pet portraits for this season.

Where I am form (midwest USA) a popular car customizing trend is to take a 60's-70's full size sedan, give it a radical suspension lift, and put it on gigantic wheels. These are known as donks or hi-risers. I used to hate these when I first started seeing them but I've grown to like them, despite the fact that the majority of them that I see are unsafe hack jobs.
I started building another lego lowrider and decided to go in the opposite direction, so here we are!

The suffixed name element -donk goes back to a geographical concept. A donk is a mound consisting of cover sand that occurs in the low-lying river area and protrudes above the later sediments . As a part of the name, the word is much more common.
In North Brabant, the word or part of the name -donk was especially attached to a large and high sand head or a plateau edge along a stream valley. Donken were a higher and drier place in an often swampy environment, making them attractive as a place of residence for people. They were also used to a lesser extent for agriculture.
