Berlepsch castle

The defensive castle of Berlepsch was built in the 14th century right in the middle of the forest. Few times it was destroyed and rebuilt, and received it's current shape in 1880-90. The castle is interesting first of all for its romantic silhouette.




And this is the view from the other side, from the drone.
