Bergen op Zoom is a town in the Southern Netherlands, just inside the border from Belgium. The town has played an important role during many conflicts, from Spanish to French to WWII.
The Markiezenhof was completed in the early 1500s and has served many functions since, including palace to the lordship, military headquarters, and hospital. Today it houses city archives, library, and restaurant.
We'll share some more photos from the town later this week.

It looks very dark like a gothic castle.
