Schloss Celle at night, Germany

Schloss Celle at night, Germany

On the way back to my hotel I passed the palace of Celle (Schloss Celle) again. Sometimes a walk around a castle at night is even more exciting than in the dayligt. Especially if you are alone in the streets. What about your experiences?

Inscription of 1631 in Celle, Germany

Another different style of portal. The inscription dated with 1631 gives me an interesting insight in the German of the 17th century: ‘Wer Got vetrauwet hat wolgebauwet’. Today we would write: ‘Wer Gott vertraut hat wohl gebaut’.
