German Castle

---

We just returned from a huge, old castle. They had rooms full of medieval weaponry and complete armour. Also horse bits, which were very facinating. All from the 1400's. There were rooms full of original paintings by the masters such as Frans Hals, etc. Paintings from the Renaissance, Gothic period, etc. A tiny picture only a foot long and half a foot wide was worth millions of dollars. They had fifty rooms full of paintings stored that they did not even have on display worth millions and millions of dollars. This is all owned by the original family who was there in the 13th century. They still have the same last name.

All the girls!
All the girls by the canon from 1524. The inscription reads "May God grant us grace." The canon could shoot three times and then it would have to cool off for about an hour.
