What "useless" guilt complex? You're keeping it vague. We obviously agree not all guilt is bad, unless u think ex atheist Dahmer should have felt okay eating and raping people, or like the atheist Stalin murdering millions
Okay, can u point to anyone in human history who has never done anything wrong, not even "small things "? And if u can't, what do we deserve for things we do wrong?
Christianity is pretty much alive and well but it does not really need those big churches.
That being said the churches are not a good option for turning into houses as the general shape of the building would lead to most of it being wasted. They do often have living spaces so those could be utilized maybe
€1200 per month, shared room with amazing view in the old center of Noordwijk! Submerge yourself in the rich history of the room and pretend that you're a prisoner in medieval times!
No elevator available. No running water available. No facilities available. Energy label G. Monument so unable to change anything.
That’s kinda pricy considering you aren’t close to a proper city center let alone Amsterdam. You’re in nederhorst, the closest city a lot of us will know around there is abcoude,
You know RIP Lisa.
Geen wonder dat er in die hoek nog huur woningen zijn te vinden.
That's what spurred me to post. I'm so done with people just telling others "don't come!" "it's full and so expensive". All those things are true, but this city still has great opportunities if you just put yourself to work, are savvy, and get a bit of luck wind your way.
Isn’t this a stones throw away from abcoude?
Yeah no Dutch person in their right mind wants to live in that area right now. The news stories from that area alone are absolute nightmare fuel.
For safety reasons don’t let female friends, bike alone in your area!
Everyone knows the stock market is glorified gambling of sorts. Don't pretend it's a lot of work to get rich of off speculation. Doctors work their asses off, investors mostly just gamble
Kasteel Nederhorst
Uit Wikipedia: In 2019 maakte Stadsherstel Amsterdam bekend het kasteel te kopen om het te transformeren in woonruimte.[5] Er komen appartementen met een woonoppervlakte van 40 tot 115 m², maar het kasteel en de tuinen blijven voor het publiek toegankelijk. Het eigendom van het kasteel is overgegaan over van de Harmine Wolters Stichting aan Stadsherstel.[6] Deze transactie werd in het voorjaar van 2022 afgerond
Wasn't in our radar. We get a monthly newsletter of the next Stadsherteel rentals and applied for it. Didn't think we'd get it at all, but here we are.
Yes, but what if he also posts the exact apartment number, the entire interior, the shape of the key AND his exact work schedule so I know when he's away?!
What if someone who does know him finds out his Email then his reddit and gets his exact adress that way. Would you want to let everyone who knows your name also know your adress?
You must be too old to know that privacy is valuable. Blabla let's not use these faulty arguments here.
The point isn't that there is a hitman it's that there is now always a data trail for anyone to follow to. The chance is low that this could happen but why take that chance?
Never heard of online safety? Getting doxxed? Promoting this is more dangerous than you think.
Cool! Fun fact: I worked in that castle for a software company for more than 5 years. It was a really cool place to work albeit with plenty of impracticalities!
Went from shared tiny houses to living in a castle. Thank you NL for making my dreams true. Worked my ass off, got lucky, worked my ass off some more. Now signed for a house in the newly renovated Kastel den Hoorst. Life is good
u/SorryLifeguard7, it's not:
* Kastel den Hoorst
* Kasteel den Hoorst
* Kasteel den Horst
* Kasteel ter Horst
Buying a place isnt as much as luck as compared to renting. But with your avarage salary and just saving money you can get a place, or your standards are unrealistic
Nope, as a dutch person that has lived here all my life, I am currently looking for housing and it's impossible. With a single income, it's very hard to get a place. So, please dont invalidate my honest experience as your idea of the truth is not the objective truth.
You're probably an exception, honestly how many people do you know that are in their early twenties and are buying a house. Many people in The Netherlands live in at their parents till their 30's. Just because you got it done, doesn't mean that's the norm.
So, moved from renting with room mates to either renting or owning an apartment in a larger building? Outright ownership, massive mortgage or something between?
Kind of toxic comment. It is called “share”. Some people may not have anyone to share. Still it is a need for a human being. I would not post it on Reddit though.
For those interested this is the company renting out the rooms in monuments like this castle… https://stadsherstel.nl/huren/woningaanbod/ — I was convinced OP was just trolling
That's actually so cool!:o
So many castles and churches sitting empty nowdays.. converting those into living spaces seems like an amazing idea!
Get rid off all the other churches too. Looks like a great place to house people. Christianity is kinda over right ?
If only
Why?
To have more people free of the useless guilt-complex that (usually) comes with it.
What "useless" guilt complex? You're keeping it vague. We obviously agree not all guilt is bad, unless u think ex atheist Dahmer should have felt okay eating and raping people, or like the atheist Stalin murdering millions
The idea that we are born in sin, deserving of hell.
Okay, can u point to anyone in human history who has never done anything wrong, not even "small things "? And if u can't, what do we deserve for things we do wrong?
I am talking about being born in sin, as a baby. I don't think you deserve hell for most things considered sinful.
Christianity is pretty much alive and well but it does not really need those big churches.
That being said the churches are not a good option for turning into houses as the general shape of the building would lead to most of it being wasted. They do often have living spaces so those could be utilized maybe
Idk, I think this looks pretty cool

I live next to it, i guarantee you that there is also no parking space available.
Oh so this is a rental not for purchase?
Congrats OP and enjoy your stay!
Yes and terrifyingly expensive too.
I was thinking how prices are decent compared to what you normally get... Not that housing prices are decent in general
I saw the prices online and was pretty good conpared to other housing prices tbh
Yup, just a lease. Lucky we have an indeterminate contract from the get go, but definitely not "our"/
Wtf are those rent prices!
Renting in Amsterdam is insanely expensive. These I saw 1300 for 50m2 which is actually not that bad crazy enough
1300 for 50m2 isn't insanely expensive though... It's slightly overpriced maybe, depending on location and other factors.
It’s really not near Amsterdam. Maybe 30+ mins by car.
What are you talking about? They are in the middle of Singel in the heart of Amsterdam. Literally walking distance to dam square.
30 mins by car would be Haarlem or Almere
I know people from Amsterdam think the whole damn country is within city limits. But this property is not exactly city center.
https://maps.app.goo.gl/w9BivP9dq9mFFmye9
This is kasteel Nederhorst. It’s in Nederhorst den Berg. Get your facts straight.
Relax, he's talking about the properties on the website.
I don't see kasteel Nederhorst on this page
Dude lives closer to abcoude, then he does to Amsterdam.
At night that is half of netherlands
We're paying 1790 for around 80 sqm. It is 30 mins away from Amsterdam though!
That’s kinda pricy considering you aren’t close to a proper city center let alone Amsterdam. You’re in nederhorst, the closest city a lot of us will know around there is abcoude, You know RIP Lisa. Geen wonder dat er in die hoek nog huur woningen zijn te vinden.
amazingly cheap indeed...
Dirt cheap if this would have been in Ams
Stichting Hendrick de Keijser ook. Ik heb ooit in een pand van hdk gewoond.
https://stadsherstel.nl/monumenten/landgoed-kasteel-de-nederhorst/
I believe this is the one, very nice!
That's right! They bought and renovated it 4 years ago and we were lucky enough to get one of the 12 houses made from the renovation.
Super lucky shot. Managed to get on the list when they opened it briefly during Covid, and was enough time to be elegible for this.
Nice to have someone happy on this sub every once in a while.

Btw, it's Kasteel Nederhorst right? I had some trouble finding it on Google at first.
Benjaminn posts are the equivalent of listening to ai music
Yeah it would be great if this sub allowed me to post the original. But pics aren't allowed and GIPHY only had this one...
"Worked my ass off" first post history: wall street bets.im not sureee
You need the money to buy a ticket, so being on wall street doesn’t mean anything

Long term investing isnt gambling, but if youre talking about daytrading and crypto, then sure.
Who's thinking long term nowadays?
Anyone who actually wants to be succesful
How tf is this a question?
Most doctors are also investors lmfao
Investor != playing the stockmarket
Investor= someone who invest, so buying $10 in stocks makes you an investor
Sure little bro, you're an 'investor' too.
No because i dont invest
He did also say "got lucky"
Hehe, wish wsb was any help to this. Studied and worked in NL for the last 13 years.

Congrats dude. Very nice.
Would love to know a bit more, what made you go for living in a castle?
He rescued a damsel in distress, obviously
The damsel is in another castle.
Wasn't in our radar. We get a monthly newsletter of the next Stadsherteel rentals and applied for it. Didn't think we'd get it at all, but here we are.
He had a puss in boots
Congrats of course, but also… how?!
the 'castle' is turned into different apartments, including social housing
Kudos to the guy who realised they could let the castle’s dungeon to poor students.
Dude don’t post what is basically your home address online, it’s not safe
I'm sure he can just roll out the cannons and boiling oil for anyone brave enough to attempt a siege
Now I know that someone I don’t know lives in one of these like 50 apartments. Muhaha I could totally… do nothing with that knowledge
Yes, but what if he also posts the exact apartment number, the entire interior, the shape of the key AND his exact work schedule so I know when he's away?!
What if someone who does know him finds out his Email then his reddit and gets his exact adress that way. Would you want to let everyone who knows your name also know your adress?
You must be too young to remember literal phone books being sent out with names, addresses and phone numbers.
Relax bro, if he’s got a hitman on his tail I doubt this post will be what causes his downfall.
From this picture we still don’t know his name or what apartment he lives in. No need to get paranoid about a picture in front of a building.

What could happen?.
We have a moat to save us lol. But actually, very good point, might delete.
We require pictures of this epic abode!
Pretty please!
Impressive. Very nice. Let's see Paul Allen's castle.
Congrats!
Cool! Fun fact: I worked in that castle for a software company for more than 5 years. It was a really cool place to work albeit with plenty of impracticalities!
Sooo... do you invite strangers for coffee??
Just kidding. Congrats OP, it looks amazing.
Vette locatie hoor!
Hopefully it comes with endless olibolen
Stay happy my man!!!!
Looks cool. Wanne see the inside!
That's very cool. Congrats on this upgrade!
Well done brother! Happy for you :)
u/SorryLifeguard7, it's not: * Kastel den Hoorst * Kasteel den Hoorst * Kasteel den Horst * Kasteel ter Horst
But Kasteel De Nederhorst. Now, delete your post and try again.
You look like somebody I know 😃 have you ever done anything with music in Rotterdam? Congrats on the castle, incredible!
Congrats, buddy!
who gives a fuck
LMAO, I love the Dutchies downvoting because you made a "spelling mistake". Cry harder.
Congratulations for you!
There are Dutch people on this sub?
How do you know they are Dutch? Are you the same kind of person who is ashamed for being white?
Nice place. From shared tiny house to shared castle. Nice upgrade, but isn't the rent substantially higher?
Lol, I guarantee you that there will be some salty triggered dutchies coming in.
I'm downvoting because he wrote the name of this castle with 3 spelling mistakes, because he doxed himself and idk because of bragging.
This is such a Dutch comment
Dutch people sure do hate seeing other people being confidently happy and not afraid to share their wins.
Americans sure do love to generalize
What, all of them? Or just your narrowminded vision of everything?
True especially when the person in question is of a other etnicity
[deleted]
He doesn't own it. There are multiple apartments (all rental) inside. 6 of them are "sociale huur".
of course he doesnt 'own' the castle. dont be ridiculous.
And stop with the dutch bashing, it makes you look foolish
Anyone who can get a normal job and works 40 can get a place to live in
This couldn't be more wrong.
Youre right it might be harder if youre under the age of 20 and might work as a server but besides that is very possible
Nope, it really is not. Currently in The Netherlands, with the current prices it's very hard to get a place. You have to be really lucky.
No you don't.
Yes, you absolutely do.
Buying a place isnt as much as luck as compared to renting. But with your avarage salary and just saving money you can get a place, or your standards are unrealistic
Nope, as a dutch person that has lived here all my life, I am currently looking for housing and it's impossible. With a single income, it's very hard to get a place. So, please dont invalidate my honest experience as your idea of the truth is not the objective truth.
I am single income, i am in my early 20’s, i just bought a place, so how is it “impossible”
You're probably an exception, honestly how many people do you know that are in their early twenties and are buying a house. Many people in The Netherlands live in at their parents till their 30's. Just because you got it done, doesn't mean that's the norm.
My experience used to live in a stads hersel place. She was sad to lose it.
Congrats! Thats the lovely village i was born and raised.
How much you pay for Energy in a place like that
Gefeliciteerd!!
1100 excl voor 37m2 😟
So, moved from renting with room mates to either renting or owning an apartment in a larger building? Outright ownership, massive mortgage or something between?
Nice story. Devil's in the detail.
good for you, do you rent rooms? i bet there’s gonna be plenty empty space 😅
What a gorgeous place to live, count your blessings.✨
Convert them to Christianity and humanity
So nice Bro! Good for you enjoy!
Love it, so happy to see someone happy in this thread!
Awesome! Enjoy :)
Seems expensive but if it works out for ya then that's great!
How much?
[deleted]
120 m² home? In this economy?
And you're seeking validation from strangers on Reddit now? Go and be happy with your house. You don't need this.
Kind of toxic comment. It is called “share”. Some people may not have anyone to share. Still it is a need for a human being. I would not post it on Reddit though.
I don't think it's toxic. I think seeking validation like this is toxic.
They have created a greater situation for themselves and they are sharing it, awesome on them for sharing it! I'm happy to be seeing it!
Who the actual fucks upvotes this?
I think I can count with one hand the number of pixels the keys have, how will someone do anything with that lol
Enhance enhance! Lol
I just cracked the encrypted backend of the database, keys download = 100% - We're in 😎
The keys are 2by2 pixels. Nobody is going to replicate them from this picture.
So someone who creates a greater situation for themselves and shares it is offensive?
You sound like the typical Dutch ‘je mag je kop niet boven het maaiveld uitsteken’. Tea for breakfast might be better than vinegar.
Comment is reeking of jealousy, get well soon ;-;
I am glad you got it. Who going to clean it though lol
Kkr turk
