Our local castle is the Marienburg, about 30 minutes from here http://www.schloss-marienburg.de/smbinter/cms/index.php?id=19 Friends of the family lived here, not in the castle, but in the grounds in a piggery converted into cottages. http://www.wasserschloss-huelsede.de/wasserschloss.php?mn=1 I'll look through my slides and see if I've got some pictures of it.
