Schonauwen

Schonauwen is a former castle in the Dutch province of Utrecht. It is located on the southern outskirts of the town of Houten, surrounded by new buildings.

Municipality of Houten in 1868, with Schonauwen coloured brown.

Until the end of the 18th century, Schonauwen was a separate heerlijkheid (fiefdom). When the country was divided into municipalities by the French, Schonauwen was added to the municipality of Houten, but it became a separate municipality in 1818. In 1857 it was merged back into Houten.[1]

The heerlijkheid and municipality covered an area of about 6.8 km2, and had about 240 inhabitants in the middle of the 19th century.[2]

Castle Schonauwen

The castle is now owned by the family Schmidt.

gollark: Yes, hi.
gollark: I'm having an issue with the thread-local-heaps thing. I want to use https://github.com/dom96/prometheus in my application, but it uses global variables somewhere, probably unavoidably since separate metrics in each thread would not make very much sense. My application uses prologue and has multiple threads.
