What is a buitenplaats?

A Dutch country estate, usually built by a wealthy Amsterdam or Utrecht merchant in the 1600s or 1700s along a river such as the Vecht or the Amstel. Engraved albums of them, by Stoopendaal and others, were published from 1719.

Are castle prints a good gift for an owner or a local?

Yes. Many prints here show a single named castle or house, so they are often bought by people who live in, visit or descend from the place. The title of each print names it.
