Castle Raeren (Belgium)
The castle dates back from the 14th. century with enlargements and renovations in the 16th. century.
Nowadays, half of the castle is used as a farm (!) and the other half is a museum of pottery.
In the 16th. & 17th. century Raeren was world famous for its pottery industry with an annual production at an estimated 600.000 pieces. Raeren stoneware has been found in excavations all over the world (f.e. in the graves of Native Americans, on Dutch shipwrecks off the west coast of Australia, in Russia and so on……..)
