architecture, baroque gardens, English planted green, kittenish sculptures and figures,
water assets, fountains, wells, ponds, lakes, channels, pavilions and gazebos in the forest,
all this is presented here in a selection of the most beautiful castles in Germany.
This photo gallery is a really smart impression of the extensive archive of the webmaster,
unfortunately not everything can be displayed here, we kindly ask to excuse this circumstance
as well as the one not to get all time the right illumination or light exposure of the
snap shot. Some additional information or the history of the castle are stored in the detail
to the picture, which you reach by clicking the photo.
Castles, palaces, and forts in other countries than Germany are stored in the respective
country galleries. Thus, you will find the numerous, in most instances reconstructed,
Japanese castles built on a hill or on a plain ground surrounded by a moat in the photo gallery
Japan. The Indian palaces, forts and castles, partly still
inhabited by a maharaja, are summarized in the photo gallery
India.
This gallery contains and shows photos from the castle Linderhof close to Garmisch-Partenkirchen
in Bavaria inside the Alpes; a teeny-weeny section of impressions of the New Castle,
Castle Lustheim on the other side of the channel and the park in between in Oberschleissheim
northbound of Munich. The background picture is a sight view of the new castle seen from
the castles garden.
Furthermore there are pictures from the Old and New Castle plus Upper Grot and Great Pool
of the Eremitage in Bayreuth (North Bavaria);
photos of the Residence in Würzburg and its court garden with the rose trees

close to Heidelberg and Mannheim with its baroque garden.
Some pictures are attended to the castle in Bad Pyrmont with the surrounding moat,

No photo gallery? Worth knowing about technology and program
If your operating system doesn’t build the photo gallery, but instead displays a warning that
restricts the display of active content, allow the blocked risk. The navigation, the selection
menus of the photo gallery as well as the control of the gallery pages are completely written
in javascript, which triggers the browser to display this warning. Furthermore, since
version 3.0 the entire screen is designed in container technology with a maximum of 5 areas,
which are set visible or kept hidden depending on the screen width. Same width also determines
how many shots can be shown in a row and automatically adjusts to it when you refresh the
screen, similar to your Windows Explorer. Due to the variable structure of the gallery,
unfortunately, no headings can be given any longer, which area will be displayed next.
The photo gallery itself as one on the 5 subsections is displayed with dynpro subscreen
technology, means in the screen encircled container 2 other containers are connected in the
top left position. One of these sub-container shows as transparent background image
the castle in Oberschleissheim; the other container contains the text.
The wallpaper in the background is fixed with 100% x-axis and 100% y-axis and
2400 pixels, the text container calculates its depth itself. Depending to your screen
configuration, one container is displayed deeper than the other, so there it at the bottom
an overpowering beyond the edge of one of the containers.
In normal cases the wallpaper should finish deeper than the text.
Some patience, please note
The pictures of the photo gallery are extremely compressed to 165 * 110 pixels,
thus very fuzzy, but this is the intention. By clicking the frame you will get the actual
size with an image resolution of 2250 * 1500 pixels and the detailed data to the picture.
You can click the graphics right away, the second screen will open, but it may be that your
Internet browser will load all the photos in the gallery before the single photo is activated
in the zoom. Also note that your computer may issue a warning about active elements in
the background. Without activation and during charging, the zoom screen remains black,
which is not a program error, it is just the background color. Please be patient.
How the photo description is structured and which possibilities you have in operating the
system, is shortly summarized in the
guidance to the photo.
for your proposals, suggestions, improvements and criticism.
