My first one of this week, is from what here we call 'De Kluis'. (the safe)

I translated a bit information into english, hope it is well.

When I go to the city (by bike) which is the closed to do shopping, it's only about 10 minutes biking from our home.

The building was founded in 1699 by Princess Maria-Dorothea Dietrich von Stein von Salm (1667-1732), Countess of Geleen and Amstenrade. She wanted to be a military hospital (lazerij 'or leper house) to establish infectious patients to leave nursing. One part was a chapel dedicated to St. Lazarus. The building was the foundation is not meant to be safe. This is reflected in the fact that the safe (even then) was not isolated, but at a crossroads, which in those days was the designated location for an inn. Also misses the vault until the day the usual garden. Still got all the suspected military hospital during the life of the contract giver this special purpose. Thus, the safe in Schaelsberg in 1688 was commissioned by Count Gerard of Cartiels Hoen, the then lord of Castle Schaloen, reportedly in gratitude that he had escaped drowning. The Countess of Geleen may also have followed this example, probably a similar reason.

It has also a relation with that castle Schaloen, from wich I posted several photo's on my gallery.
