Zijn katholieken wel te vertrouwen, wanneer het gaat om hun trouw aan Nederland en de moderne rechtstaat? Die vraag klinkt anno 2023 uiterst vreemd – belijdende katholieken zijn sowieso een zeldzaam verschijnsel geworden en niemand – denk ik – zou hun nog een collectieve, bijzondere kijk op de geldende politieke orde willen toeschrijven. Dat lot treft nu eerder islamitische Nederlanders, over wie…

Castle De Haar is located in the province of Utrecht in the Netherlands. The current buildings were built upon the original castle, which dates back to 1391. Hendrik van Woerden gave the castle as a fiefdom to the De Haar family. The De Haar’s remained in possession of the castle and lands until 1440 when the last male De Haar family member died without heirs. The castle passed to the Van Zuylen family and suffered through a fire in 1482. The remaining structure, still used by the military, was incorporated into the new castle in the early 16th century. When Johan van Zuylen died without children, the castle fell into ruins and was eventually bequeathed to a cousin. Etienne van Zuylen, the husband of Helene de Rothschild of the Rothschild family, inherited the castle ruins. Financed by the Rothschilds, they set about fully restoring and modernizing the castle with the help of famous architect Pierre Cuypers. Cuypers worked on the project for twenty years. The castle has 200 rooms and 30 bathrooms.

Wat gebeurde er op 3 maart? 1921 - PIERRE CUYPERS (93) OVERLEDEN

Hij was een Nederlands architect.

Zijn naam wordt vaak in een adem genoemd met het Rijksmuseumgebouw (1876-1885) en het Centraal Station (1881-1889), beide in Amsterdam. Cuypers was echter in de eerste plaats een architect van kerken. Hij ontwierp meer dan 100 kerken, waarvan er ongeveer 70 werden gebouwd. Een hoogtepunt is de herbouw van Kasteel de Haar in Haarzuilens, een kasteel in romantisch aandoende neogotiek waarbij op grote schaal gietijzer werd toegepast...

De Sint-Antonius van Paduakerk, beter bekend als de Bosjeskerk (of Boschjeskerk), was een rooms-katholieke kerk in Rotterdam.

De Bosjeskerk werd in 1866 gebouwd iets ten noorden van het Boschje; dat Boschje lag bij de splitsing van wat sinds 1949 het Pompenburg heet en de Goudsesingel. Het was de eerste kerk die door Evert Margry, een leerling van Pierre Cuypers, werd gebouwd. Margry ontwierp een grote driebeukige kruiskerk in de voor deze tijd kenmerkende neogotische stijl. Het oorspronkelijke ontwerp had ook een hoge klokkentoren, maar die is nooit gebouwd.

Bij het bombardement op Rotterdam in mei 1940 werd de Bosjeskerk verwoest. In 1954 werd aan de Hofdijk ten oosten van het pand waarin destijds de Rijksautmobielcentrale (RAC) gevestigd was en tegenwoordig het Stadsarchief (voorheen Gemeentearchief geheten) gevestigd is, een nieuwe kerk, de Antonius en Rosaliakerk, gebouwd die in 1991 al weer afgebroken is.
