Historic Places Full of Character and Stories

Traces of the Past Captured in Images

Every historic site carries marks of times gone by. Its stories still echo in the present. In this collection, you will find photographs that reveal remarkable architecture and revive the atmosphere of bygone centuries. Moreover, light and composition work together to transport you back to the moment each picture was taken.

Iconic Locations in Several Countries

I photographed the impressive interior of Middelburg Abbey, where sunlight and shadow bring the vaulted ceilings to life. At Tintagel Castle in Cornwall, ruins tower above the rugged coastline and remind visitors of the legendary tales of King Arthur. In addition, the Fort of Ambleteuse in France shows the enduring strength of a defensive structure that has stood for centuries.

From Ships to Castles

In Lelystad, I captured the famous Batavia ship glowing in the warm light of sunset. The castle in Runkel, Germany, offers a charming view, complete with an old stone bridge that spans the river. I also included the mysterious Burg Eltz, hidden deep within the forested Moselle region, in this unique series.

Cities with Centuries-Old Charm

This portfolio features more than castles and ships. You will also find historic cityscapes, such as panoramic views of Zierikzee and Gouda. Furthermore, Bruges in Belgium radiatesates timeless elegance. A walk through its narrow streets feels like a journey back in time. As a result, this versatile collection showcases the beauty of Europe’s heritage in all its glory.
