The Castle in Braunfels is over 750 years old.
This was quite a breath-taking view as we turned the corner coming into the city.
The town square of Braunfels, with the half-timbered houses and ornately decorated buildings,
was very quiet because of the restrictions around COVID-19.
We did find a nice bakery where we could eat right outside in a covered area. That is rare these days.
"Castellum Bruninvels" with its historic town center was first mentioned in documents
dating from the year 1246. The history of the town is closely linked with the
history of the castle and the Counts and Princes of Solms-Braunfels.
John Richards caught us recording a Marco Polo for the family.
The archways and doors really conjure up the imagination of what may have gone on in the past.
Someone got a little out of hand and had to be put in the stocks.
Shauna and John Richards make a Weekend Wandering more fun.
One of John's hobbies is photography. He can get some amazing shots with his nice camera.
Once a larger entrance, this door is one of many that captured our attention.
