The bridge that crosses the moat and leads to the Fraeylemaborg was nicely decorated for Christmas. During the Middle Ages, these
borgen (manors, castles) in this region of the Netherlands were the only buildings -next to churches- that used durable stone and masonry, and they became centers of power and wealth.
The name 'Fraeylema' was mentioned in the archives of 1504; the building originates from the 16th century and has had several owners since then. At the end of the 18th century it was rebuilt in the shape it has today. Since the 1970s the Fraeylemaborg is a historic house museum.
Interesting and historic place...even more pretty at Christmas time.

Wonderful to see and know. Thank You, M!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenGrappig dat het hetzelfde beteken als het deense borgen.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenHet ziet er niet zo Nederlands uit met die kleuren geel en wit. Beetje Scandinavisch inderdaad.

BeantwoordenVerwijderenMerry Christmas, Marleen!
It's a very beautiful building.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI really like the architecture with the two wings...much like the palace at Versailles. I've been doing some reading about WWII, and saw some awful photos of what the Nazis did to Holland. Thus, I especially appreciate the beautiful country that you show us every day.
