this is a black-and-white view of the 'house on the hill', overlooking trition lake. triton himself is visible in the reeds, at the left-hand end of the bridge.
the original house dates from the 13th century, but was extensively altered during the 18th century. a fire in 1974 devastated the building, so that only the outer walls remained standing. but it rose like a phoenix from the ashes, as it was completely renovated in 1996.

@Michael Skorulski: thanks, michael! it's not exactly MY part of the world, but it's closer than saudi arabia or brazil ... ;-)
@grouser: true enough! most of our 'treasures of the past' owe their existence to exploitation and worse things ...
@Robert D. Burr: i agree! when i first visited the place in the late 1970s, the castle was a burnt out shell, only the gardens were as beautiful as today ...
