Ootmarsum Twente The Netherlands
Rond 770 werd in Ootmarsum een van de eerste kerkjes in Twente gebouwd. In november 917 stierf Radboud, bisschop van Utrecht, in Ootmarsum. Ootmarsum was rond het jaar 1000 een van de grootste parochies in Twente, westwaarts strekte het zich oorspronkelijk tot en met Almelo uit.
In de middeleeuwen floreerde de handel in Ootmarsum, vanwege de gunstige ligging; zowel aan een belangrijke noord-zuid-route als aan de route West-Nederland - Noord-Duitsland. Rond 1300 werden aan Ootmarsum stadsrechten verleend. Vervolgens werd Ootmarsum, met de aanleg van een dubbele rij grachten en aarden wallen, een vestingstad. In het kader van de Tachtigjarige Oorlog vestigden Spanjaarden zich in Ootmarsum. Zij werden in 1597 door legers van Prins Maurits uit Ootmarsum verdreven, waarna de vesting ontmanteld werd. Een kogel in de kerk herinnert nog aan dit beleg.
Ten zuiden van het stadje lag een commanderij van de Duitse Orde. Later werd dit de havezate Huis Ootmarsum. Zowel stad als Huis zijn vereeuwigd door Jacob van Ruisdael (circa 1628-1682).
De opkomst van de industrie in Twente ging aan Ootmarsum voorbij; het bleef een akkerbouwstadje. Hierdoor stokte de ontwikkeling van Ootmarsum, wat in de tweede helft van de 20e eeuw een gunstig effect had op de toeristenindustrie: het nostalgische stadscentrum doet oude tijden herleven
Around 770 was one of the first churches in Ootmarsum in Twente built. In november died 917 Radboud, Bishop of Utrecht, in Ootmarsum. Ootmarsum was around the year 1000 one of the largest parishes in Twente, the originally stretched westward to Almelo.
In the middle ages the trade flourished in Ootmarsum, due to its convenient location; both to an important North-South route as on the route Netherlands-North West-Germany. Granted city rights around 1300 were to Ootmarsum. Subsequently, Ootmarsum, with the construction of a double row of canals and earthen walls, a fortified town. In the framework of the eighty years ' war established Spaniards in Ootmarsum. They were in 1597 by armies of Prince Maurits Ootmarsum, after which the fortress was dismantled. A bullet in the Church still reminds of this siege.
South of the town of lay a commandery of the Teutonic order. The Manor House was later Home Ootmarsum. Both city as House are immortalized by Jacob van Ruisdael (circa 1628-1682).
The rise of the industry went to Ootmarsum in Twente past; It remained an agriculture town. This was the development of Ootmarsum, which in the second half of the 20th century had a beneficial effect on the tourist industry: the heart does revive old times

One of the biggest impressions from my last year's trip to the Netherlands was the amount of old castles, it's like wherever in the country you are, most likely there are couple of amazing castles within easy reach. How cool is that?
Being a huge fan of architecture, beautiful places and the Netherlands, I welcomed the opportunity to visit centuries-old castle with 32 hectares of gardens as a true blessing!
The castle itself was renovated last winter and is in a perfect condition, with historical interiors showing how its last owners, family of an artist, used to live (0:48)
But the gardens (1:31), this is what amazed me the most - true masterpiece of landscape design! I remember I had pretty the same feeling at Disneyland: you look at all the beautiful details, realize how much it took to create all this beauty, you feel the love people put in everything there.. Here are some highlights: rosarium (1:39), Indonesian zone (3:31), Japanese corner (3:06), Chinese pond & rocks (3:16), Casa Verde with palms and koi fish (gift from Japan!) (2:49), waterfalls (2:37), flamingos, parrots - to mention just a few! I hope I managed to re-create the peaceful atmosphere of the gardens, but you can see more on their YouTube channel and Instagram (check the links below!)
Arcen village (4:19) (if you dare call a village couple of streets filled with fancy dark-brown brick houses with lawns each worth a magazine cover) is where a famous ice cream spot is located - Ijs Salon Clevers, with great variety of tastes and nice terrace overlooking the river. Pet-friendly! (4:41)
Castle helds Elfia - Elf Fantasy fair - every year in September. I can't imagine better venue for festival like this! Have a look at Elfia 2016 here:
