OMG! So many horseshoes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner...lol 🤣 Plus. this is also the very first time I've witnessed a castle that does not look like a typical castle! 😁 Any passerby definitely wouldn't expect its royal connection to the past unless they had prior knowledge of its interesting history. Those roof trusses of the Great Hall are simply fascinating due to their contrasting colors to the building's overall finishes. 😊
Are there still any traces left of the original castle fortifications? Were you able to capture close-up photos of them @littlebee4?
I know… so much @storiesoferne a bit too much hahaha 😂
I have also not seen a castle like this before that doesn’t look like any. It was fascinating to see.
You are right. They just popped out of the surrounding white finishes.
No, a shame actually, we looked around the grounds and there where no traces left of them. I know there were archeological diggings but they covered all up. We went all the way along where the fortifications should have been. Besides a small hill, plants and grass nothing was there. (At least for the eye) not sure when they found some remains why they didn’t leave it unearthed. Maybe for a later time?
We also walked past the church and looked from that (lower) side. Just a mount of earth we looked at, at eye level.
Oh okay, I see @littlebee4. It's such a pity that no historical remains of the original castle were left as museum pieces. These important architectural relics could have stirred more interesting discussions and explorations from the concerned scientific communities. Anyway, that was such a fun adventure you had, and thank you for showing us around this remarkable heritage of architecture. P.S. I sent you a message on Discord for some updates. 😊
It is a pity @storiesoferne indeed.
I think their biggest draw is focussed on the horseshoes. Maybe they should create another building for them and truly represent the great hall for it’s architectural marvel it is. As it was fully under shadowed now by them. I couldn’t even fully focus as it was busy.
Thank you so much, happy to share.
I will have a look.
Have a wonderful weekend 👋🏻😁
