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.

Sneeuw bij het Bosje met op de voorgrond spelende kinderen, 1910. Links op de achtergrond de Bosjeskerk.

In 1659 komt het Boschje buiten de Hofpoort voor. Het was een met bomen beplant stadsplein aan de Goudsesingel. Het Boschje behoorde tot het terrein, dat nog in 1525 bekend was als het Foreest in Rubroek. De latere naam herinnert vermoedelijk aan dat Foreest (d.i. jachtterrein, wildernis met bos, woud). Ook de naam Goudsche Boschje kwam voor. Aansluitend bij het Boschje kreeg de daarop uitkomende laan de naam Boschlaan. Deze laan was in 1617 door Frans Jacobsz. Craay langs de oude vest aangelegd en daarom eerst naar hem genoemd. Later heette ze naar een andere eigenaar Laan Samuel Pietersz. Vlaming. De Boschlaan verbond het Boschje met de Jonker Fransstraat. Bij besluit B. 19 mei 1942 werd de naam ingetrokken. De naam Boschje werd bij besluit B&W 21 november 1952 ingetrokken.

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 aan het Boschje bij de Heer Bokelweg en de Rosaliastraat in Rotterdam. 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.
