Mespelbrunn Castle - Side view

At first, a house was built around the round tower during the late 1300's and early 1400's.
Then in 1427, Hamann Echter, son of the first owner, began to rebuild his father's house
by building fortified walls and adding a moat. He turned the house into a castle
with moat and a beautiful one at that. The castle has never been disturbed by warfare because of its remote location. (Wiki..)

A fine image of this very well preserved old castle. The smooth water of the moat encircling it adds an air of serenity to your photograph.

It does look beautiful. We have a local fortified manor house from the 1500s that is not dissimilar.
