Yes, I'm very lucky living over here to get to see a LOT of historical places. I love that. It's so fascinating to me to learn how other people lived and why they did what they did. If I'm thinking of the right picture, that is the port that leads into the actual castle grounds rather than into the castle itself. But if it's the wrought iron doors at the top of a stairway lined with a deep red carpet, that's the entrance to the castle itself and wouldn't have looked like in the original structure.

But, this is Doornenburg Castle....and you can see the drawbridge over the moat and the red and white doors into the castle....

And this is the port that leads to those castle grounds:

And they had similar doors in the port. So those were more....defensive? Like....those were actually from the wall around the castle, and then the actual castle had the moat and drawbridge, and then heavy doors. By the time Haar Castle was rebuilt in the 1800s, there was no need for castle defenses anymore, so then everything just became purely decorative.

Definitively looks like a defensive castle from the medieval times, the moat specifically is the giveaway.
Not many modern castles are build with water around it with a bridge.

I wonder how their first night went. I am not a FB fan at all, but 4 mos. is very generous.

@ajrwdwgirl , I know you got a nice jacket recently, but if you also wanted another one to rotate with (we gals need variety ;)), I notice on the Kohls web site that they have quite a few Columbia (the brand you like) jackets on sale through today. (The Columbus Day holiday might be bigger out here, and not sure if Kohls is running the same promotion out in your state; but if interested, maybe take a peek.) They had some nice colors in a wide range of sizes, from fleece to much heavier winter jackets. :) (And another random thought--a hint to hubby for Christmas, maybe?) :angelic:
