No, this is not a real town but the Zuiderzeemuseum in Enkhuizen, in Holland, where a town around 1900 is recreated from houses from villages around the former Zuiderzee, now the IJsselmeer.

The diorama had quite a journey, even ending up in the Dutch National Army museum. But it was found, and restored again.

For reenactment you can’t use originals, but thanks to master pottery maker Aebele Trijsburg I can eat my porridge.

“Castle #Wedde”, in #Groningen, near the German border. A medieval stronghouse, now a hotel for children in need. Bishop van Galen made his headquarters here for a while.

Oh, great, taking a picture of a painting in a museum behind glass. This is Bernhard Johan Prott, defender of Bourtange in 1672 against the evil Munster Bishop van Galen. Died in Lutjegast, you know, where Abel Tasman came from, the guy that discovered Tasmania.

Fragmented remains of a bronze sword laid out on a dark surface, its blade hacked into multiple pieces. The broken segments show long, parallel ridges characteristic of the original blade, along with sections of the hilt and guard.

An intentionally destroyed #BronzeAge #sword found in a burial at Blaubeuren-Asch. Bronze Age weapons deposited in burials were often bent or hacked into pieces before placed into the grave, in this way they 'died' with the owner. Dating 9th century BC.
