The former Main Post Office was designed by the architect J. Crouwel Jr. in the style of the Amsterdam School. Construction started in 1919 and was completed in 1924. The hall of the building is impressive because of the high parabolic arches.
There are six bluestone statues in the hall. Five of these human figures represent the different parts of the world and they are accompanied by a corresponding animal, a sixth image is about trade and prosperity. The statues and ornaments are by Hendrik van den Eijnde.
With special attention to the feet on the rotating carousel :):)

The first house was build in the thirteenth century as a hunting lodge used by the counts and dukes of Gelre. The house was named 'Pauwenburcht' (Peacock Castle) because of the white peacocks they kept there. The dukes of Gelre used to wear the feathers on their helmets.
The present house was build in 1905 on the foundations of a house dating from the seventeenth century.
Staverden Castle is build on the foundations of a seventeenth century house.
At the backside of the house lies a small island in a pond. On the the island you can find the tomb of Eleonora. This Eleonora lived at Wildenborgh Castle, one of the eight castles of Vorden. She had a lover, who went on a crusade in the Holy Land. When he was away, another man wanted to gain her by force. When her lover returned home, he was killed by his rival. Eleonora wanted to escape this evil man and fled to Staverden, where a mighty knight lived, who gave her protection. She stayed there for the rest of her unhappy life, always dressed in black.
After her death she was buried on the island in the pond. On moonlit nights, the black lady is seen there, walking to and fro on the island, wringing her hands and lamenting about her lost love.

In the freezing cold, I went on this wild adventure. Had to tackle the icy trail, carefully stepping through the snow. The air was crisp, the vibe was both thrilling and challenging, turning the scene into an epic winter canvas. The pic? It＇s a frozen moment of owning the cold, conquering the trail, and soaking in nature＇s badass beauty.
