Built in Forchheim in Frankonia in 1612. Also from Forchheim, a bit younger. And another one from the 18th century, from Bad Soden. Geometric Square #29

Traditional Is Best

Two Houses, How Many Window Styles?
Both these houses are from Michelstadt im Odenwald. I was fascinated by the different kind of windows, all coming together to one style, sort of.
The contrast between the sandstone and the white front, the windows with the rounded top on the ground floor, mirrored in the second floor balcony door cum window. The grey and white half-timbered style on the top floor with the small oblang windows. The combination of both styles in the little tower cum bay windows.
And here is another house with typical architectural details of the area. The creme coloured shingles set off by the simple oblong windows, set off by grey and brown frames. The sandstone set-ins with grilles leading to the basement. The angular bay window jutting out and decorated with half-timbered details in dark wood.
