For last week’s Thursday Doors challenge, I posted about Marksburg Castle, one of only two Rhine River hill castles that was never destroyed. We visited Marksburg during our river cruise last June. Today, I feature some of the windows of Marksburg for Ludwig Keck’s Monday Windows challenge.

Here is Marksburg Castle from below:

The castle has a variety of different windows.

Do those slits on the lower right indicate that another window was there at one time?

Four narrow shuttered windows and a triangular attic window!

Windows in the tower…was there perhaps an imprisoned maiden up there? (Rapunzel, let down your hair…) 😉
