  Century old wooden well
by Waalewiener
 
 

Favorite thing: A wooden water well almost a century old ,circa 1050 ,found by archeologist
north of the Church in the heart of Gilze.
Discovered in March 1994.Two hollowed out tree trunks were put together and lowered in a hole , the trees are supposed to have been 300 years old Oak trees. Only 75 cm wood remains from the top tree.
The water well is all covered and a nice glass surrounding protects it .
The young people near the well are Maaike & Tim.

Review Helpfulness: 4 out of 5 stars
