Holland - Haarlemmerliede - Horse street and horse wall - The only one of its kind in Holland
The text in dutch can be read when seen in original view and enlarged.

Next to the farmhouse and also almost opposite of the church you will find a wall with rings in it to attain the horses and small carriages to during the time the owners were in church attending mass.

Holland - Haarlememrliede - Horsestreet and horse wall
Mentioned in the archives already before 1887. The historical wall was restored. See also next photo to the left. With some imagination the old times revive and you can see the horses and carriages lined up patiently waiting for their owners to return...
