A Groninger farmhouse  by pyrrhula

A Groninger farmhouse

This old farmhouse (front) is typical for this part ( Groningen) of our country . It is, to us, a big farmhouse and we call those farmers : A ``Herenboer`` and the farm : A Herenboerderij``.The small and poor ones are named : Keuterboeren``
Beautiful capture of the farmhouse and interesting information on it.

I try to translate Keutel..not such luck. I know what you meant with Herenboer..sound like in our language Herrenbarone.. keutel.. does that mean small - Kleinebarone????

Het zijn gigantische boerderijen daar op het Groninger land.
Slip of the pen: geen keutelboeren, maar keuterboeren

@gijsje Bedankt U heeft helemaal gelijk . @bruni Yes. They have to do a job beside the farming to get an income.

Looks like a big house. Is the winter cattle area in the back?

I learn so much from your shots and narratives, Pyrrhula, and I especially thank you for that. This building looks more like a palace than a farmhouse. Beautiful capture and composition.
