a Monochrome impression of our visit to "Kasteel Groeneveld "
Last Friday we went to visit Kasteel Groeneveld , a building dating back to the 1710 here in Holland.
You can find more detailed info on their website : https://www.staatsbosbeheer.nl/kasteel-groeneveld
It has a lovely park for a walk , if the weather allows it .
We had rain coming and going that day so the light conditions were not the best for photography.
This is my entry for the #monomad challenge
A small impression of out visit to Kasteel Groeneveld in the Netherlands.
Kasteel Groenveld / Castle Groeneveld
Looking back to the entrance from inside the castle
A maquette / Architectural model of the castle as it is today
Side view of the Architectural model
The changes over the years
The owners of the property over the centuries.
huge chandeliers in every room
probably 1 meter in diameter
top of the stairway on the second floor with daylight lighting the stairway.
Looking down on the stairway from the second floor.
Today you can actually rent these rooms for meetings / weddings and presentations.
rooms had plenty of old furniture from the past , but hard to make decent pictures , to many people getting in the way.
Neptune statue on the first floor
Art exposition on the second floor , unfortunitly there were no signs with the artist names , so unable to give credit .
Statue in the backyard of the castle looking over the pond
The backside of the castle
Another statue "Visarend" next to the pond / osprey
Low water due to crazy heatwaves and draught this year, old couple walking their barking cat / small dog.
Back side of the castle from a distance

What a nice little tour. Thank you stresskiller, much appreciated. Loved the art pieces and the Neptune statue.
I'm still laughing about this :)
i hate small dog always barking for nothing and they run away for my cat :D
there will be more art coming up this week if i can motivate myself enough to post .
I;ve got a little mini-pom. She can be a yapper sometimes. It does get annoying.
Looking forward to the art.
To be honest, I don’t know which photograph to choose as my favourite; they all form a harmonious whole, and besides, I absolutely love castles. From the chandelier, the staircase and the sculptures, but above all the art exhibition, and even more so the views from the back of the castle, left me in awe. That elderly couple, that photograph is so tender and beautiful; I absolutely loved it, and the way the lake is captured creates scenes straight out of a bygone era.
A beautiful black-and-white composition that transports us to another era. I’m so glad you were able to visit that place and share it with us. Thank you very much and a big hug!🤗

Thank you there will be more in color later this week :)
That makes me really happy, and seeing you on Hive makes me even happier!
It looks so majestic..
I don't know why after looking at the pictures, the first though that came to mind was that such a big house would be a daunting task to clean 😭😂
that is why they pay people to do that .
