Das Karussell ist auch ein klassisches Symbol für Kirmes, Rummel oder Volksfest. Hier eine ICM-Aufnahme (Intension Camera Movement), die ich auf dem Prater aufgenommen habe.

De Haar Castle (formerly Het Huys in Haer) is a monumental castle in the Utrecht village of Haarzuilens. It is the largest castle in the Netherlands. It was built in 1892 on the ruins of the old castle in neo-gothic style.
De Haar consists of a large area in which, next to the main building, there are, among other things, associated gardens and buildings such as a chapel. The neighboring village also has a strong relationship with the castle and the whole falls under the protected townscape.

De Haar Castle is a castle in the village of Haarzuilens in the Dutch province of Utrecht. De Haar Castle is the largest castle in the Netherlands.We do not know how the castle originated. As a result, we do not know what the first castle looked like. In 1449 the castle came into the possession of the van Zuylen family. Around 1482 the castle was often attacked. At the end of the 19th century, the castle was no more than a ruin.In 1890, Etienne baron van Zuylen van Nyevelt van de Haar inherited the castle. He had the castle restored. The famous architect Pierre Cuypers and his son Joseph Cuypers were commissioned to build the castle.Since 2000 the Kasteel de Haar foundation of the Natuurmonumenten Association has been the owner of the castle.

Castle De Haar is one of the most famous and visited castles in all of Holland and was originally founded in the late 1300’s by the Van de Haar family, whose standing in society allowed them the comfort of building a fortified abode.
By 1449, the castle became the property of the Van Zuylen family thru marriage. In 1482, the castle was destroyed due to differences of opinion (quarrels) between the city of Utrecht and its bishop
By the 17th century, the Van Zuylen family line had become extinct and the castle was inherited by the Van Stembors, who originated from the south of Holland - present day Belgium. French soldiers attacked and damaged the castle during the years 1672 and 73.
In 1801, Castle De Haar passed to JJ.van Zuylen van Nijevelt, a distant cousin of the Zuylen family. JJ had inherited a castle that was in a poor state of repair due to 200 years of neglect. Upon his death, these magnificent ruins passed to his son Baron Etienne van Zuylen van Nijevelt in 1890.
The rebuilding of the castle was started in 1892 under the guidance of one of Holland’s most famous architects Dr PHJ Cuypers. It is his influence on Castle De Haar that we see today. PHJ Cuypers rebuilt the castle as close as possible to the original outlines and were there was not sufficient material to work with he used his own ideas of what a medieval castle should look like. The interior was rebuilt to a luxurious standard with the inclusion of electricity. A new bailey with an entrance gate was built on its original foundations.
Today the castle is surrounded by parkland but this was not always the case. From the medieval period to the end of the 19th century, the village of Haarzuilens had been surrounded the castle. Haarzuilens was completely demolished and relocated some one and a half kilometres away to the west. The village chapel however was saved from this wilful destruction and incorporated into the new park.
Castle De Haar is now a museum and opens to the public except during the month of September when the Van Zuylen van Nijevelt family turn it back into a home for their month long stay.

To visit De Haar Castle, whether to admire its park, its rich history, the exhibitions, gardens, deer or for a wedding, is to be immersed in a different world. Behind every door, every detail, every flower in its colorful gardens is a story. A story about earlier times, different cultures and interesting characters. De Haar is the largest castle in the Netherlands, once the private residence of the Van Zuylen family, whose descendants still stay here yearly. In the last century, the castle also frequently hosted members of the international jet-set with their lavish lifestyle; from Coco Chanel to Roger Moore, they too left their mark on the sumptuous rooms of the most opulent spot in Utrecht.
Few castles in The Netherlands can equal De Haar for its ideal image of a medieval fortress with towers and ramparts, moats, gates and drawbridges. Like a real fairy-tale castle, it rises majestically from parkland with impressive trees, old gardens, and ponds. The castle is situated in the center of The Netherlands, near Utrecht, and is easy to reach by car. There is ample parking space.

Another view of the haar this time with a textured sea emerging from the mist and some fascinating shapes in the dolerite shoreline which always fascinate me. I struggle getting my head round geological time and the forces of nature that must have carved the subtle patterns in these hard rocks. This section of coast does get a pounding in a rough sea however.
El Castillo de Haar (en neerlandés: Kasteel de Haar) se encuentra cerca de Haarzuilens, en la provincia de Utrecht en los Países Bajos. Los edificios actuales, todos construidos sobre el castillo original, a partir de 1892 son obra del arquitecto holandés PJH Cuypers, en un proyecto de restauración neogótica financiado por la familia Rothschild.
El más antiguo registro histórico de un edificio en la ubicación del castillo actual data de 1391. En ese año, la familia De Haar recibió el castillo y las tierras circundantes como feudo de Hendrik van Woerden. El castillo permaneció en la propiedad de la familia De Haar hasta 1440, cuando el último heredero varón murió sin hijos(Wikipedia).

De monniksgier (Aegypius monachus), ook bekend als de zwarte gier of Euraziatische zwarte gier is de grootste gier en grootste roofvogel van Europa, met een spanwijdte tot 3,1 meter.
Deze aaseters spelen een cruciale rol in ecosystemen en komen voor in Zuid-Europa, het Midden-Oosten en delen van Azië.
De monniksgier is een kwetsbare soort, maar het aantal broedparen in Europa neemt de laatste jaren toe.
