Watermill Baalsbrugge at Night

Here you can see some pictures of the Baalsbruggermolen in Kerkrade I took during the blue hour and at night. This mill is located along the river the Worm, a small river at the border between the Netherlands (Kerkrade / Haanrade) and Germany (Herzogenrath / Merkstein). This watermill was owned by the Abbey Rolduc until the beginning of the 19th century (here some pictures taken at the Abbey Rolduc).

Rolduc during the blue hour

Rolduc is situated in Kerkrade, southern part of the Netherlands. History goes back to 1104. For a long time it was used as an abbey, nowadays it is used as a seminary. Beyond that it’s a place for conferences. And there are located a hotel, a restaurant and a café.

For me it is an ideal place to take pictures. Some of them I like to present here at my homepage.
