The most visible landmark is the medieval castle of Stolburg. It sits with its buildings and towers on the large limestone rock above the Vichtbachtals. The strong walls are so artfully anchored in the rock that the entire castle seems to have grown out of the rock.
The castle, which dates back to the 12th century, is now mainly used as a meeting place. Upstairs in the cateel there is a gallery for art exhibitions. The middle floor with a large hall serves as a venue for concerts, parties and weddings. During its long history, the castle was destroyed and rebuilt several times. The excessive use of historical elements in the reconstruction in 1900 gave the ruined castle a strong character.
On the western side of the courtyard between the main building and the round tower a staircase leads to the lower courtyard. The lower courtyard offers a view of the impressive bluestone formation of the castle.

Martin van Rossum (1993) is a passionate photographer living in Stolwijk. Just below Gouda, in the municipality of Krimpenerwaard! He is versatile, and has taught himself the tricks of the trade. In landscape photography, beautiful light is the most important thing for me. I like to go out early to "catch" the most beautiful light of the day.
