Description

I have the short description of the Donaustaufer castle history to the "castle in the air" enclosed ( http://www.renderosity.com/viewed.ez?galleryid=1086765&Start=13&Artist=Valentin&ByArtist=Yes). I'd like only to add the following. The Swedes destroyed the castle in the Thirty Years' War at 1634 after the castle garrison attacked and robbed Swedesh ship with salt (at the time had salt nearly price of gold). "O tempora! O mores!" Thanks for viewing. Olympus 5050. Have a great start to the week!

If these stones could talk, the stories they could tell having stood for so many centuries. A beautiful architectual photograph. Thank you for sharing.
