This renaissance castle is situated in the centre of the small town of Hadamar in Hesse. The most striking feature for me is the contrasts between the white walls and the sandstone trimmings.

Palace windows
These are windows from the Heidelberg Castle (Renaissance), Gersfeld, Schwetzingen and Mannheim palace (all three Baroque buildings).
Heidelberg, Mannheim and Schwetzingen are in close proximity of each other – one can see that sandstone is a prevalent building material in the area. Gersfeld is not that far away, about the same distance from Frankfurt to the north-east as the others are south.
Linked to Monday Window.
