A very beautifully maintained castle along De Kromme Rijn. There is a large garden around it that could use some maintenance. If you drive along the main road from W.b.D towards Bunnik, the castle shines on the right side of the road.

Beautiful walks possible around Beverweerd Castle. The castle grounds are currently "no trespassing". That doesn't matter for the walk. Walked via clog paths. Largely also accessible with a dog on a leash. Approximately 5 kilometers. Had lunch at Landrucci, a charming, somewhat Italian farm shop with a covered veranda.

Worth the effort. Visited an exhibition by Gert Jan Jansen. Beautiful building in a beautiful location. Lots of history. Beautiful estate. The paintings of this master forger are also a journey through (art) history.

Always nice to see the great collection of paintings by master copied Janssen. Impressive that someone masters so many painting styles.

Saint-Émilion Old Town

Saint-Émilion is a picturesque medieval village renowned for its well-preserved architecture and vineyards. The town and surrounding vineyards was made a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1999, owing to its long, living history of wine-making, Romanesque churches and ruins stretching all along steep and narrow streets.

An oppidum was built on the hill overlooking the present-day city in Gaulish times, before the regions was annexed by Augustus in 27 BC. The Romans planted vineyards in what was to become Saint-Émilion as early as the 2nd century. In the 4th century, the Latin poet Ausonius lauded the fruit of the bountiful vine.

Because the region was located on the route of the Camino de Santiago, many monasteries and churches were built during the Middle Ages, and in 1199, while under Plantagenet rule, the town was granted full rights.
