Doornenburg - Kasteel

Kasteel Doornenburg is een Nederlands kasteel uit de 14e eeuw.

Het kasteel ligt in het oosten van de Betuwe en centraal in Gelderland, nabij het dorp Doornenburg. Het bestaat uit een voorburcht en een hoofdburcht, die zijn verbonden door een smalle houten brug. Het is een van de grootste kastelen in Nederland.

Op de plaats van het kasteel bevond zich in de 9e eeuw al een versterkt huis, bekend onder de naam Villa Dorenburc. Hieruit is in de 13e eeuw een bescheiden kasteel ontstaan. De huidige hoofdburcht werd in de 14e eeuw gebouwd en in de 15e eeuw voltooid. In de 15e eeuw werd de voorburcht gebouwd. De voorburcht bevat woonvertrekken, een kapel, en een boerderij. Zelfs de ingrijpende reconstructie uit begin 20e eeuw in het achterhoofd houdende, is dit een van de best bewaarde en meest oorspronkelijke middeleeuwse voorburchten van Nederland en omstreken.

Kasteel Doornenburg bleef tot in de 19e eeuw bewoond. Daarna raakte het in verval. In 1936 werd de Stichting tot Behoud van den Doornenburg opgericht, die het kasteel vanaf 1937 liet restaureren en de ommuring van de voorburcht deels reconstrueren waar deze in de loop der eeuwen was verdwenen. In 1941 was de restauratie voltooid.

Aan het eind van de Tweede Wereldoorlog werd de donjon vrijwel geheel verwoest. Lange tijd werd gedacht dat het was opgeblazen door de Duitsers, maar het bleek in maart 1945 te zijn getroffen door een Brits bombardement. Van 1947 tot 1968 is het kasteel weer geheel opgebouwd. Alhoewel de voorburcht belangrijke middeleeuwse resten bevat, dateert slechts een deel van de kelder van de donjon van voor 1947.

You'll find the answer to "what and where" in the PiPs, also in the map detail at right. Which leaves open the question of "why?" I'm afraid you'll have to wait until Friday's HFF for the answer. :-) Happy Wednesday Wall, everyone.

Germany - Lindau, Altes Rathaus

The Altes Rathaus (Old Town Hall) with its colourful façade was built from 1422 in Gothic style. Work on the impressive building lasted 14 years. In 1576, the building was modified with a Renaissance-style stepped gable. The bells at the top bear the date 1617. There were also changes in the 16th and 17th centuries. The town hall was renovated in 1885/87 and the façade paintings were renewed in 1972-1975 based on 19th century originals

The facade, decorated with paintings, a covered staircase leading upstairs, jagged shapes and a beautiful Renaissance door - all this makes it one of the mosty beautiful buildings in South Germany.

The rooms on the upper floors of the Altes Rathaus are still regularly used for meetings of the city council and committees as well as for receptions. The Reichsstädtische Bibliothek (Imperial City Library) and municipal archive are located on the ground floor.

Veinte años de abandono han convertido el Algarrobico en un lienzo donde el musgo, la sal y el tiempo pintan su propia obra. Cada ventana vacía es un suspiro, cada arco derruido un verso de una poesía que el mar aún no ha terminado de escribir.

Para quienes ven la belleza en lo que otros llaman ruina: esto no es un hotel, es un diálogo entre el hombre y el paisaje. Y hoy, por fin, el paisaje tiene la última palabra.

ARC - I/S Amager Ressourcecenter

Amager Bakke (Copenhill) is a striking, angular building whose entire mass is wrapped in a shimmering “brick” façade of stacked aluminum panels, giving it an almost pixelated, industrial sculpture look. Its most famous feature is the sloping roof that becomes a full‑length artificial ski slope with green surface in summer and snow in winter, flanked by walking paths and a dramatic outdoor climbing wall on one side. Large, square openings and a clean, minimalistic profile make the plant read more like a contemporary cultural venue or art museum than a conventional incinerator, especially when illuminated at night. Behind this expressive architecture, the facility works as a combined heat‑and‑power plant, turning the city’s non‑recyclable waste into both district heating and electricity for surrounding households.

Germany - Lindau, Mangturm

nobody@ipernity.com (Jaap van 't Veen) — Mon, 11 May 2026 06:50:19 +0000

Jaap van 't Veen has posted:

The Mangturm (Mang Tower) - located on the harbour promenade - is a square stone building, which was constructed in the 12th century as part of the medieval city fortifications. The tower had a height of 35 metres high and was equipped with embrasures. The Mangturm was a perfect observation post at the end of the city wall, which also included two neighbouring towers. In order to send signals to ships on Lake Constance, fire baskets were hung on a pole outside the tower.

After the construction of a new lighthouse in 1856, the Mangturm lost its function as a watchtower and signal tower. It was raised by one storey and covered with the distinctive glazed tiles. In 1914, the former tower keeper’s apartment on the upper floor was converted into a viewing room.
