Inside the decaying Castle of Heers
Added 2024-08-08 17:00:06 +0000 UTCIn this video, we visit the Castle of Heers in Belgium, which is normally closed to the public. But since we became the members of Herita organisation, we could join a special guided tour and explore the castle (inside and outside) and all the outbuildings and learn about its past. Join us as we walk through the castle. It's a real gem!
I hope you will enjoy the tour as much as we did. We plan to share more of similar tours with you, once we get the opportunity and time.

Yep, we asked for permission. In fact they are very happy to promote their organisation and their heritage sites in all possible ways. To attract more volunteers and donations. But also people's attention to these beautiful historical places.

2024-09-04 14:07:15 +0000 UTCdid you have to get special permission from the organization to take a video and post it?

2024-08-09 14:39:10 +0000 UTCThank you for the tour of such an interesting site, with architectural and historical details. If you give more such tours, I will enjoy them; but your work on your own home is even better. It is exciting to see you returning to the farm house proper after the other projects (milk barn, greenhouses, landscaping, etc.), which were interesting to watch.
