Bruchsal, Germany - 19th August 2009

By: olgamaus


Hi Mummy,
it's our last day here  with Katja and fam-united. So we went into town to visit the baroque castle.

Close to our house we saw grapes growing along a house.

We went there through the city centre.

In this pretty buiding the local tax office is situated.

We reached the castle than. Sorry, it is called "Château", which really sounds better.

The Château of Bruchsal was built in the baroque style of the mid 18th century starting around 1720 and served as the official residence of the bishops of Speyer. Its center was a three-winged building. In World War II the Château was badly damaged as a result of the aerial bombings aimed at Bruchsal and burned out completely. The large central part of the building was reconstructed (well into the 1970s) as a museum.

In the park we saw fountains and statues.

There are four statues symbolizing the four seasons. This is the statue for summer.

Another four statues are symbols for the four elements. This is the one for fire.

FoxForce decided to come with us. We was staying with fam-united for some time. Now it's time for him to move to another place.

We went back home than. It was so hot that it was hard to bear. On our way home we walked through another park. Here we saw the old keep of a medieval castle.

We also saw this statue here. Is is a symbol for international understanding.

We hurried home than. We had to pack our things and lunch was waiting for us. In the afternoon we have to get back to the airport.
