Nederland - Kasteel Renswoude

Kasteel Renswoude (Renswoude Castle), formerly called Borchwal, is a castle and knight's manor and estate nearby the village of Renswoude. The first house probably dates from the late 14th century. Perhaps the name refers to a borgwal (circular rampart) that surrounded the castle.

During the Dutch 'Golden Age' - in 1654 – the original house was demolished by order of Johan van Reede and replaced by the current country house in Dutch-classicist style. It was probably built on the medieval foundations. The castle has a special design, which gives it a double appearance. The white plastered back gives the building a real country-house appearance, while the front with its towers is more reminiscent of a castle. The facade of the main building is dominated by the large tower in the middle with a corner tower protruding on either side.

Kasteel Renswoude is surrounded by a park, which is open to the public. Nowadays the castle is divided into several apartments where some members of the castle owners' family reside.

Se buscó y encontró la profundidad de campo en la presentación. Me gustan estos tiros desde atrás siguiendo el paseo arbolado hasta llegar al sujeto principal al fondo. Al mismo tiempo guarda toda la simetría que permite el arbolado. Además coincide un juego de color verde y dorado (hojas caídas) en franjas que también ayudan a llevar la mirada al fondo.

De los reflejos conseguidos, de la magnífica serie y detallada información, no lo cité porque es tan obvio que no necesitan comentario. Lo fabuloso... son fotografías puras de algo real que forma e informa de la historia y actualidad. Gracias por compartir tus trabajos, Jaap.
