Fun Alexander. An fine nugget of history and Zierikzee farm life.

The 'Schutters' house looks comfy for living, the annoying part of the job might have been that the cow is sounding-off whole night, calling for her other herd members.

So what do you do if you lost a Koe(cow), today? If found, the Cow probably goes to the Sheriffs Department and one will still need some bail money (-:

Great photos and additional links

Thank you for this fascinating post. There's so much to discover in Zierikzee. How interesting that they had protective cages like that and that this one is still there. I love city walls and I've recently been on the ones in Lucerne and Murten. And now I want to go explore what's left of the city wall in Zierikzee.

Really enjoying the local history, nature etc. posts and your pictures. Thank you! This was a great story to read over lunch.

Hope your health keeps improving.
