Cities are constantly changing every hundred year a city looks different. Mainly due to simply wearing out or fashion houses are demolished and new ones erected. But sometimes some houses remain for various reasons. This is one of them, from 1602, tucked away between others on a one way street.

Mr. Evert van de Poll in his life a lawyer of the country of Utrecht, hating all slackness, founded this workhouse for the ones who rather make their living with work than with slack begging en by this making themselves into his heir 1602.

It's beautiful. Let's hope it's still there in another hundred years or so.
That really is a lovely place. I love older architecture.
I love old things and old places, and the feelings they stir within.
