A spring walk in the forrest
This morning i went for a walk with the wife in an area that we both didn't visit before.
Althoug we drive by it almost every day we never stopped at the place for a walk before .
Kasteel Stoutenburg / Castle Stoutenburg
https://www.utrechtslandschap.nl/gebied/natuur/heerlijkheid-stoutenburg
more info : https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landgoed_Stoutenburg couldn't find an English version.
But in short the first setlement on this place was build back in 1259 , it was demolished in the 16th century and in the 17th century another family bought it and build another building , then another family came along and history repeated it self .
And today it's being used as a caretaker home for elderly people with dementia . The park arround it is accesible for the public during daylight.
