A very beautiful little church and the highlight, you can climb the tower, but be careful, only if you are good on foot, because it goes up over narrow wooden ladders, past the big bell (attention strikes on the half and full hour ? ‍??) At the top you will be rewarded with a great view over the whole island. Definitely do *****

Beautiful church that suits Den Burg. With next to a real graveyard.

Functionally designed building with no particular artistic or architectural value. Electrics mostly out of date. No or hardly any sockets and no public wifi available. Lamps do not meet modern energy saving standards. Ceiling significantly too high, so heating costs have to be immense. Not up-to-date!

Château de Chantilly

The Château de Chantilly comprises two attached buildings: the Petit Château built around 1560 for Anne de Montmorency, and the Grand Château, which was destroyed during the French Revolution and rebuilt in the 1870s. Owned by the Institut de France, the château houses the Musée Condé. It is one of the finest art galleries in France and is open to the public.

The estate"s connection with the Montmorency family began in 1484. The first mansion (now replaced by the Grand Château) was built in 1528–1531 for the Constable Anne de Montmorency by Pierre Chambiges. The Petit Château was also built for him, around 1560, probably by Jean Bullant. In 1632, after the death of Henri II, it passed to the Grand Condé who inherited it through his mother, Charlotte Marguerite de Montmorency.

Several interesting pieces of history are associated with the château during the 17th century.
