De Kralingse buitenplaatsen van de 16e tot de 21e eeuw - Robert J. Ligthelm

een vergeten Arcadië

KORTE INHOUD

Embedded in Rotterdam, the characteristic Kralingen district is located to the east of the center. The rich history of Kralingen is determined by the pearl necklace of country estates that arose from 1600 around the Castle of Kralingen. Of the more than 40 country estates that existed, only five remain. This forgotten Arcadia strongly determines what 21st century Kralingen looks like. The country estates had a number of unique characteristics: the interweaving of industrial activity with habitation, the very strong role played by immigrant families, the phenomenon of 'kwakel bridges' and 'lease' country estates; all elements find their place in this book. This book presents the houses, the families who lived there and stories that took place behind the front door. A rich source of visual material has been gathered for this book, often never published before. Many houses are described for the first time. This book provides a unique insight into Kralingen in the past centuries
