This time I want to show you a photo of a very beautiful old castle. Half of the photo is the castle ditch and the rest is the castle with old trees. The calm water made a beautiful reflection.
This castle is called “Schloss Ahrensburg” and was a former mansion. The original was built in 1595 and received it’s current look in 1759. It is a very famous Renaissance building. (Wikipedia) Close by there’s also an old mill, an old church and royal stables. I took this photo in late autumn which gives it a rather melancholic atmosphere, which I like a lot.

Nice photo Mitza. I imagine it is nice to visit or live in Europe with access to the rich history, buildings and culture.

Thanks for liking my photo. This castle is rather harmless. No evil ghosts etc. It is guarded by two frightening lions out of stone. Maybe that helps, hehe.

Yes, Judie, in former times it must have been quite chilly in the wintertime, as they didn’t have any heating only a fireplace. Hope you are fine, virtual hugs, Mitza

Schöne Aufnahme Mitza. Ein schönes Schloss…ganz ungewohnt die kahlen Bäume. Aber dauert ja Nichts ist es wieder soweit. Wir hatten hier wieder eine afrikanische Woche…wenn das so weiter geht gewöhne ich mich irgendwann daran 😉 Was gibt es Neues im Norden?
Liebe Grüsse
Stefanie

Vielen Dank, liebe Stefanie. Ich weiß, Hitze kann man schwerer ertragen als Kälte. Bei uns ist es erträglich. Hoffe, bei Euch wird es auch bald besser.
Dieses Schloss liegt in einer sehr gemütlichen kleinen Stadt, wo ich öfter mal hinfahre. Habe gerade viel Kummer, aber das kann ich hier nicht schreiben. Liebe Grüße Mitza
