Maarten van Rossum museum — Attraction in Zaltbommel

The Stadskasteel Zaltbommel, also known as the Maarten van Rossum Museum, is a beautifully restored city castle that combines the elegance of Dutch castle architecture with thoughtful museum curation.

Hartelijk bedankt Ms. Reijerse and please keep your enthusiasm and the great way to protect...

The second about zaltbommel, the third about the famous dutch comic Jip en Janneke and their illustrator, who grew up in the town. How ever if you're unable to read dutch you'll have a...
