I recently got myself a new toy, a DJI mini 2 drone, to get some pictures of the nearby wooded dune area. Here a picture I took today at 58 meter of the remain of a fortress built in the 12th century in the centre of our village. https://www.flickr.com/gp/mxer/39X10H Henk

Nice, Henk - the fortress seems to be in remarkable condition for its age.

Quite interesting, Henk, Thanks for sharing. It somewhat resembles a Viking "Ring Fortress." Exactly where is it located?
