Wonderful composition. The history of this castle is very similar to the history of many castles in Europe - destruction in wars, followed by rebuilding efforts. Kind of an ongoing, medieval constructions jobs project...

This impressive castle has gone through hard times, from reading your narrative....Your beautiful capture with this special angle and perspective, enhances the majesty of the building.
