Nederlands (nl-NL) About the Author
My name is Jean-Marie Putz. For a long time, my passions have shaped my life just as much as my professional activities.
In the early 2000s, a trip to Scotland sparked my first great enthusiasm: single malt whisky. This discovery led to the creation of a website and forum, which allowed me to share this passion with a wide audience.
Gradually, another interest came to the forefront: travelling, and above all, exploring the history and architecture of the places visited. Over time, this curiosity turned into a true passion for monuments and the civilizations that shaped them.
This website was born from a desire to pass on that interest. It brings together videos created from my own photos and offers descriptive texts, providing both a visual perspective and historical and cultural insights.
My aim is simple: to share these discoveries and, hopefully, inspire others to better understand the world’s heritage.

Like everyone else, I was born one day. And it is already a long time ago because I lived through the days of boys' schools when it has become unthinkable nowadays to have single-sex schools.
