Ronnes

This study aims to elucidate concepts of castle in the Netherlands, England and Ireland in both past en present times. The first part of the book examines current, respectively, academic, national and personal appropriations of ’castle’ the second part moves into the past, juxtaposing elite culture and the spatial organisation of 16th and 17th century domestic architecture.

Hanneke Ronnes is a lecturer at the University of Amsterdam and researcher at the Dutch Castle Foundation (Nederlandse Kastelenstichting) .
