Last Friday we went to visit Kasteel Groeneveld , a building dating back to the 1710 here in Holland.
You can find more detailed info on their website : https://www.staatsbosbeheer.nl/kasteel-groeneveld
It has a lovely park for a walk , if the weather allows it .
We had rain coming and going that day so the light conditions were not the best for photography.
This is my entry for the #monomad challenge
A small impression of out visit to Kasteel Groeneveld in the Netherlands.

rooms had plenty of old furniture from the past , but hard to make decent pictures , to many people getting in the way.
