Groningen, The Netherlands
It's become almost a tradition: on the last weekend before Christmas, the quaysides of the Hoge and Lage der A are filled with charter ships during the atmospheric WinterWelvaart event. With their century old warehouses and stately buildings, the Der A's are among the loveliest spots in the city at any time ...

*Muiden Castle is a castle in the Netherlands, located at the mouth of the Vecht river, some 15 kilometers southeast of Amsterdam, in Muiden, where it flows into what used to be the Zuiderzee. It is one of the better known castles in the Netherlands and featured in many television shows set in the Middle Ages.
The history of Muiden Castle begins with Count Floris V who built a stone castle at the mouth of the river in 1280, when he gained command over an area that used to be part of the See of Utrecht. The Vecht river was the trade route to Utrecht, one of the most important trade towns of that age. The castle was used to enforce a toll on the traders. It is a relatively small castle, measuring 32 by 35 metres with brick walls well over 1.5 metres thick. A large moat surrounded the castle.
Willemsoord is a large former dockyard of the Royal Netherlands Navy in Den Helder. It is now a maritime museum, housing the Dutch Navy Museum and the Nationaal Reddingmuseum Dorus Rijkers. In 2009 the replica of the Dutch East India Company ship Prins Willem which was located in a dock (accesible to the public) burned down.

Pictured in this second to last shot of my Netherlands series is the Munttoren or Mint tower in one the busier squares of the city the Muntplein, originally it was part of the city walls and looked very different to the tower we see today a very ornate carillon clock and passageway between the flower market and the eastern end of Kalverstraat.
The Regulierspoort, was a complex of two towers and a gateway into the city , it was completed in 1487 only to lose its function in 1585 as Amsterdam expanded and the city walls moved far beyond the complex’s usefulness.
The Regulierspoort burned in 1618 and only the west tower was rebuilt in 1620 in almost its current state minus the name Munttoren, the name was adopted after Amsterdam temporarily started producing coins in 1672 when both Dordrecht and Enkhuizen the mints of the day were under occupied French rule.

Back from the cottage gentrification project ready for the season and our isolation oasis I hope that you enjoy the continuation of my re-edit visit to the Netherlands from fall 2017 to continue on unabated until arriving in Amsterdam for my final post in the series.
Thanks for all the supportive comments on this Dutch Masters process development and those that just like to have something trying to be a little distracting in their feed other than today’s current events,
my goal is to hopefully trigger a memory or the want of a memory of someplace you would like to be.
As mentioned before my short break, Delft is where we will pick up my reverse chronological order Dutch revisit, captured here is what I thought to be Vermeer’s corner but now upon some reflection realize it is not his view but it is a view of Delft just the same and not a bad one.
Delft is an easy day trip from almost any location in the Netherlands making it an excellent day trip, the core is easily walkable, chock full of historic treasures, wonderful shops, warm cafes and beautiful views and should not be missed.

This church was built in 1605. It was one of the first churches in the Netherlands built by the protestants. In 1647 the church was expanded into the present cruciform church. It is the only church on the island of Vlieland.
The organ is from around 1780 and the builder of the organ is unknown.

Building A of Radio Kootwijk was built in the years 1918-1923 in Art Deco style. Dutch architect Julius Maria Luthmann designed it and it was built with Reinforced concrete, which was revolutionary at that time.
It was built as a building of a shortwave radio transmitter. The transmitter played an important role in the 20th century as a communication facility between the Netherlands and the Dutch East Indies.
This building was known as 'Building A'. Later, it got nicknames like 'The Cathedral' (it looks a bit like the church of Veere, in the Netherlands) or sometimes 'The Sphynx'.
Due to the development of new technologies like Communications satellites, Radio Kootwijk lost its position as main overseas wireless connection point of the Netherlands. In 1980, the last transmission mast was blown up.
In 2004 the park lost its last transmitter functions.
Now, it is officially appointed as a monument. It is used as venue and scenery for several cultural events and productions, including the American film Mindhunters in 2004.
