Voelhaven is a small Dutch-style coastal town being built by P.P.A. It is intended to become the nucleus of a colonial state called Nieuw Walschor.
History
Founding
Voelhaven was founded on the 09th December 2012 by P_P_A. Realising that >he would never be Dutch, he set out to build a cute & adorable Dutch-styled town in Minecraft instead.
Status
The fortifications—four bastions, arranged in a quarter-circle and protected by a moat and a glacis—have taken shape, though further geoengineering is needed, and a citadel to be added. Some streets have been laid out; the marketplace is surrounded by the waterfront, a windmill, and the incomplete town hall. Planned next is a bocage landscape to surround the settlement, followed by a church and miscellaneous other buildings.
Landmarks and Surroundings
Voelhaven is located to the western side of a large bay, and at the edge of a forest. Plans are for this forest to be replaced by a bocage landscape.
Economy

Government
Voelhaven is a colony of the Grand Duchy of Walschor, located on a different server. Head of State is therefore the Grand Duke of Walschor, P_P_A, who appoints the local governor. The office is currently occupied by P_P_A.
Building Code
- Buildings must adhere to Dutch and Low German architecture.
- They must be cute & adorable, and cozy.
- Houses within the town must be taller than wide.
- Houses may not be higher or shorter than their neighbouring building than by a third of the neighbour's height.
- The façades are to form a continuous line, their front hugging the pavement.
- Ornaments, small staircases, pillars, etc. may overlap the Smooth Stone Slab pavement, but not the cobblestone streets.
- Upper floors may protrude by one block for every six blocks of height, up to three blocks.
- There must be no gaps between buildings; each wall must hug the neighbouring one.
- Gardens are therefore not permitted in front or to the side of a house; behind one or underground are fine however.
- In compensation for this, every citizen is granted a field around the town for their personal use.
- Plots within the town are 10 blocks deep and a minimum of 7 blocks wide.
- Before building a house, build its façade in Creative Mode and submit a screenshot of it to P_P_A for approval.
