NETHERLANDS - Zandhoek, Amsterdam centre

Thanks to Tice for the card.

"On Realeneiland's eastern shore, the Zandhoek is a photogenic stretch of waterfront. It's now a modern yacht harbour, but back in the 17th century it was a 'sandmarket', where ships would purchase bagfuls for ballast. Many East India Company skippers lived hereabouts, carousing in local bars and enjoying the view over the IJ between voyages. The street south of the Zandhoek is the Galgenstraat (Gallows St), which on a clear day afforded a look at the executions in Amsterdam Noord."

NETHERLANDS - Wijchen Castle

"The Kasteel van Wijchen is a castle in the center of Wijchen , in the Dutch province of Gelderland . The castle is partly used as a town hall and as a museum.

At the end of the 14th century the first version of the castle was built: the first mention dates back to 1392. Until the 17th century it was mainly a defensive work with a different appearance than the current castle. The castle was first owned by the Lords of Galen . Jacob van Galen sold the castle in 1535 to one of the Heren van Bronckhorst."
