The Saint Bavo church in Haarlem. Dare I say the pride of Haarlem? Either way, she was looking good this particular evening.

The St. Bavo Church in Haarlem (Grote Kerk van St. Bavo) is a stunning medieval church located in the heart of Haarlem, Netherlands. It is one of the most famous landmarks in the city, known for its Gothic architecture and impressive Müller organ which has been played by Mozart, Händel, and Mendelssohn.

Buda Castle is a historic palace complex in Budapest, Hungary. It was originally built in the 13th century and has since undergone multiple reconstructions due to wars, fires, and changing architectural styles. The castle sits on Castle Hill (Várhegy) and offers stunning panoramic views of the Danube River and Pest.

First built in 1265 by King Béla IV to defend against Mongol invasions. It was expanded and renovated during the reign of King Matthias Corvinus (15th century) and later saw major Baroque-style reconstruction in the 18th century under Habsburg rule. Nowadays, Buda Castle is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The Chain Bridge (Széchenyi Lánchíd) is one of Budapest’s most iconic landmarks. It was the first permanent bridge to connect Buda and Pest across the Danube River, playing a crucial role in uniting the two sides of the city.

The Chain Bridge is built between 1842 and 1849, designed by William Tierney Clark and constructed by Adam Clark (no relation), and it symbolized Hungary’s modernization and economic growth in the 19th century. The bridge was blown up by retreating German forces in 1945 and later rebuilt in 1949, on its 100th anniversary.

The stone lions at each end of the bridge, sculpted by János Marschalkó, are famous. A local legend humorously claims that the lions have no tongues (but they actually do). At night, the bridge is beautifully illuminated, offering spectacular views of Buda Castle, Parliament, and the Danube.

Have to admit I 'borrowed' this idea from znsajorrah (apparently you can't tag fellow members over here?), but the view on the calm Spaarne river in the foreground and the Adriaan windmill and Saint Bavo church in the background was too good an opportunity to miss out on. Whoever's boat is missing here at this gap, please keep it away for some time longer.

The Adriaan Windmill (Molen De Adriaan) is one of Haarlem's most famous landmarks, offering a glimpse into the Netherlands' rich windmill tradition.

Originally constructed in 1779 as a wind-powered factory for grinding tuff stone into trass (used in cement). Later, it was converted into a grain mill.

The original windmill burned down in 1932, but after decades of fundraising and planning, it was rebuilt in 2002 in its historic form.
