Dordrecht: Huis Van Gijn - Art Photography
Huis Van Gijn is a museum, located in two monumental buildings on the Nieuwe Haven in Dordrecht, in the Dutch province of South Holland. The main building, dating from 1729, was the former home of the namesake, banker and collector Simon van Gijn (1836-1922).

The museum shows what life was like up to a hundred years ago, the various rooms and floors are realistically furnished and decorated with a wide collection of objects from mainly the period in which Simon van Gijn lived in this building. A picture of the times in the interior, the household, the philosophy and the environment of a wealthy Dordrecht resident.

Abseiling from the Wilhelmina Tower, the view from that height must be amazing.

Valkenburg: Architecture Photography
Wilhelminatoren, an historicist tower built with neo-Gothic elements, 30-meter high, national monument, built in 1906 on the Heunsberg. The tower, built from marlstone, has a rectangular floor plan, has seven floors, and is covered with an octagonal tent roof crowned with a large cross. The tower is accessible via a footpath or cable car, has a busy catering facility, including miniature golf course, toboggan runs and abseiling from the tower as attractions. Visitors can visit the tower which offers a wide view of the surrounding area. In the evening, the tower is easily recognizable from afar by a red illuminated cross on the roof.

After 119 years a sudden collapse!
In the early Sunday morning of March 16, 2025, the 30-meter high tower suddenly collapsed. Due to the time of the collapse, a disaster was avoided; hours later, the terrace and the immediate vicinity, such as the toboggan run, would normally be busy with people.

Wilhelminatoren, cable car and toboggan run. Nice for a small excursion. In and around the Wilhelminatoren there is a catering facility, the terrace outside gives a beautiful view over the city center of Valkenburg. At night the cross on the tower is illuminated and can be seen from far and wide.

Plaquette Willem III at Prinsenhuis. It shows a portrait of stadtholder William III. After a successful crossing to England, he and his wife Mary ascended the British throne in February 1689. An important event in Dutch history in which Hellevoetsluis played an important role as a major naval base.

This crossing needed a lot, a lot of goods and material, food to feed the more than 12,000 men and 4,000 horses for the journey of at least three weeks. More than 260 ships had been collected off the coast of Hellevoetsluis, of which 48 were warships. That must have been an immense logistical operation. The fleet departed on Saturday 30 October but failed due to bad weather. They gathered again at Hellevoetsluis, departed for a second time on 11 November, which now succeeded, King William III landed in England at Brixham. His advance to London soon resembled a triumphal march in which the English army already partly joined him. In January 1689, the English King James fled to France, leaving the English throne to be presented to William and Mary in February of that year. He and his wife Mary ascended the British throne in February 1689 as part of the Glorious Revolution.

Hellevoetsluis - National history
Prinsenhuis (Est 1664, monument) - built in the mid-seventeenth century as a home for the "commies", an official, and lodging of the Committed Councils of the States of Holland and West Friesland who supervised Hellevoetsluis on behalf of the Committed Councils of Holland charged with the supervision, construction, maintenance and operation of the port and Fortress and collecting taxes. With building included living- and guest rooms on the first floor, and a meeting room, kitchen and pantry on the ground floor.

From 1963 to 1966, with the support of funds from the flood disaster (Watersnoodramp), the restoration was carried out to bring this Admiralty building back to its original 17th-century Dutch Classical style. The layout and interior have also been adapted, such as a new council chamber on the first floor and many original decorations have been restored. Today we see a stylish facade of bricks with the original 17th-century cross frames and a stately landing. With on either side the outbuildings such as the 'De Ruyterhuis' and 'Het Kleine Kerkje', formerly warehouses and rifle storage and workshops, this as a whole gives a stately and appropriate historical appearance.

The monumental building is still in use by the municipality, with the main public role being the use of the council chamber as a wedding hall.
