That's a really pretty one! It looks more palace-ish than defensive in a lot of ways, which is interesting for a 12th century castle. Most of the ones I've seen from that time only have arrow slits at the lower levels. That one looks like it makes ample use of the terrain to prevent window access.
I would absolutely love to see that castle in person, especially if I could plan the trip around weather and lighting. I wonder if they ever get dense fog around the castle...
I agree, it indeed looks more like a palace and it's different to the castles from that period. I think that the reason is that it was built over 500 years so various architectural style and purposes..
I think there definitely can be dense fog. It's next to the river, in a valley, so it's an ideal combination for fog :)
It's a pity that when we travel I cannot really choose the weather and light conditions so very often it's not exactly what I hoped for..
Thank you for stopping by!
Yeah. I know how that goes. You would almost have to live nearby to be able to pull that off. It would be amazing, though!
I was fortunate enough to live in Ronda, Spain, for a year and got to see the beautiful stone bridges cloaked in fog. It's something I likely would never have gotten to see as a visitor.
