Welcome to the Netherlands!
Our highest "mountain" is the Vaalserberg with its peak at 322 m 
I live on the coast at minus a few meters (we have dykes to keep the water out, another Dutch "invention"!).

Looks very tranquil and peaceful. Exactly the kind of place I'd love to live.

Except for the church bells, which can be heard throughout the village every whole and half hour (although I'm used to them, so I rarely hear them anymore)

Yep, same here 
I love it 90% of the time.
But that 10% where you want to go out and do something, it sucks.

Nice wide view.
Is that grass?
Why the grass not so high?
Is there anyone who cut the grass regularly?

Yep, probably the farmers who don't want their land to get overgrown.
But also the local governments or water authority.
Us Dutchies have to keep the ditches clean and clear
If ditches get filled with reeds and leaves the water won't get away and they'll overflow and we'll sink to the bottom of the ocean.
In fact, if you have a ditch on your property it's your responsibility to keep it clean or you'll be fined (but most people don't have ditches in their garden).
Living below sea level and all.

No one said anything about a wall... 
We have dykes, dunes, ditches, sluices, but not actual walls

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

The front doors, they're about as heavy as they look, being ironclad and all.
View from the inside, the house is 200 years old, don't touch the bricks, they crumble.
The meeting room.
My desk.
A view from the side window. Back to the normal grey, after a great summer.

At first glance, I thought of an entrance to a wine cellar.
How disappointing then.
Or did you just not show us the more interesting parts of that place?
Oh sanctissimi Wilhelmus, Theodorus, et Fredericus!

Yes, I'm disappointed every morning.

I did, but the lower floor continues to go by that theme, it's just getting a bit less photogenic being full of furniture and stuff.

Could you request change for front door?
It is looks like a jail..
Maybe change the colour will help like woody color, and give it some tree picture on the door.
That is my advice

Sadly i currently have not enough space, but soon (8Weeks) will get my new table!

He may work outside and the dogs carry his computers around for him. Somewhat of a waste when I believe they are bred to carry alcohol around for people which I would much prefer myself.
