The Kasteel Well, Netherlands Connection


Over the next few months in addition to regular post, my daughter Lauren and I will be sharing a visual gallery of architecture, interiors and sightseeing of and around the Netherlands. Lauren will be sharing her new experiences in the form of images while studying at Boston's Emerson College abroad program. The campus is better known as "Kasteel Well"  located in the Dutch province of Limburg in the small village of Well, Netherlands. The Kasteel (castle) is reminiscent of an era gone by. Surrounded by an inner and outer moat, Kasteel is also flanked by two courtyards and speaks of 14 century Medieval architecture. While there, she will be trekking throughout Europe and taking snapshots of her extended classroom for all of us to enjoy!

After crossing the Kasteel bridge to gain access to the property, a brick walkway leads you beyond the arched coined entryway into the courtyard.
The brick facade cascades into a scalloped pattern as it frames the red planked doors.
Calm moat waters surround the Kasteel.
The student parlor.
The music area is sits near a large niche in the parlor.

A long day of traveling from Boston to the Netherlands the sun begins to set...how beautiful.
DOEI (goodbye)!!
