Story · Ma Retraite
You're standing on the Utrechtseweg in Zeist, at Ma Retraite. That's French for my hideaway, or my retreat. Later the house was known as Huize Sint Jan. Take a look at the towers. There are four of them around the central part, and the whole thing brings to mind an Italian palace.
