Burg Adendorf
Burg Adendorf is a castle on the southern edge of Adendorf, a district of Wachtberg in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. Nearby are the castle Munchausen and the castle Gudenau.
Although the name suggests otherwise, Adendorf is not a castle, but a water castle, which is why the name Schloss Adendorf is also used for the plant. It is listed as a historical monument and is one of the best preserved water castle buildings in the Rhein-Sieg district.
The plant was first mentioned in 1337 and developed over the years from a two-leaf angular construction to a closed four-wing system, which after its conversion to a castle has hardly been changed and thus its appearance of the 17th century. Century has largely preserved. Since 1826, it is the property of the Barons of Loë, who, by arrangement, offer guided tours for groups.
Adendorf Castle is a two-part complex consisting of a castellated mansion and a forecourt south-east of it, which stand on a common island with a rectangular shape.
The wide moat surrounding the island is framed by a wall and pond-like around the mansion. It is fed by the mill creek. In addition to extensive forest and agricultural areas, the estate includes a landscaped castle park with mature trees. The remains of a formal garden, which can still be recognized in its basic concept, are integrated into it. It is located outside the moat north of the castle building.
The main building is a four-winged plaster construction whose wings are grouped around a nearly square courtyard. The floor plan goes back to a 14th century castle.
The two and a half brick floors of the building rise above a high basement made of quarry stone and are completed by steep pitched roofs with small dormers and schist cover. The design of the building is reminiscent of Dutch models, but perhaps also Italian villas in the style of Mannerism served the lords of the castle as a model, because sons of the von der Leyen family spent several years studying in northern Italian cities.
The building has rectangular windows with natural stone walls and Hausteinbänder as cornices. On the north ceiling is a massive, three-storey round tower with slate-roofed conical roof. Like the stable of the outer bailey, it has small, round windows on the ground floor, while the two upper storeys have transverse windows. The tower is still from the medieval plant. In it was formerly a courtroom and the dungeon.
The remainder of the manor house is occupied by polygonal turrets that rest on console-like projections in the form of overturned cones. It`s steep, octagonal helmets are slated. The tower corners and window surrounds consist of Haustein.
The eight-axle main facade of the building is located on the southeast side and points to the outer bailey. In its fifth axis, the rusticated portal is a bit lower than the ground floor. A double-flighted staircase with a curved shape leads up to it. It is crowned by a flat triangular gable whose gable triangle shows the coat of arms of the von der Leyen family. Behind the portal is a gatehouse with two groined vaults separated by arches.

The gate hall leads the visitor to the courtyard in the style of the Italian Renaissance. Above the archway, on the courtyard side, is the alliance coat of arms of the Leyen and Quadt families. Many windows facing the courtyard are crowned by volute gables.
The volute gable of a door in the northwest wing shows the year 1659.
In addition to a wooden staircase from the late Middle Ages in the great hall, a Renaissance chimney with numerous coats of arms can be found on valuable interior fittings. He came to Adendorf around 1900 from Konradsheim Castle, which was also owned by the von Loë family, and displays the coats of arms of the following noble families: Waldbott, Schall, Bernsau, Haeß, Wachtendonk, Loë, Schinck and Nesselrode.

The basalt foundations and the cast concrete blocks were dismantled and reused by the passing Eifel aqueduct. Keep and gate tower were supplemented by a bullet at the end of the 13th century. In the outer wall of the gate tower, the bricked arch of a former passage is visible. Between the palas and gate tower is a two-storey, plastered house from the 18th century on the old wall.
Today the castle is a horse farm with restaurant.

My Wish For Humanity
Mankind might finally consciously awaken to the stark reality of an ubiquitous Jewish terrorism which has consistently culminated in the hatching of crimes against, not only humanity in its entirety, but also against inherent virtue and natural laws against all life forms as well as abiotic commodities (which the Jew has been successful in habitually controlling and manipulating the perceived value of) that has driven mankind into a frenzied competition that devalues anything of virtue resulting in a twisted and diseased world that is blinded by ignorance, false logic, hypocrisy, and superstition. The diabolical schemes of manipulation concocted as lies, have, as their ultimate goal, the subjugation of the remainder of humanity. It is through reticence, superstitious garbage, and tenacity to undermine non-Jewish institutions within any culture that explains the ostensible success of the Jews at acquiring wealth and power vastly disproportionate to their respective population. Indeed, the Jewish problem…

Jagdschloss Granitz
Granitz Hunting Lodge (German: Jagdschloss Granitz) is located on the German island of Rügen in the vicinity of the seaside resort of Binz. With over 200,000 visitors per year it is the most popular castle or schloss in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
The lodge lies in the middle of the forested Granitz ridge, which covers an area of about 1,000 hectares (2,500 acres) and has been part of the Southeast Rügen Biosphere Reserve since 1991. The name Tempelberg given to the highest hill in the Granitz comes from the 18th century, when a small hexagonal belvedere stood on the site of the present schloss. The quickest way to get there is from the Baltic seaside resort of Binz on the Rügen Light Railway or the Hunting Lodge Express (Jagdschlossexpress).
The hunting lodge (Jagdschloss) was built on the highest hill in East Rügen, the 107 m above sea level (NN) high Tempelberg, in the years 1838 to 1846 by order of Prince Wilhelm Malte I of Putbus, based on a design by Berlin architect, Johann Gottfried Steinmeyer in the style of the North Italian Renaissance castellos. It was once a popular holiday destination for European nobility and prominent people; for example, Frederick William IV, Christian VIII, Otto von Bismarck, Elizabeth von Arnim, and Johann Jacob Grümbke numbered amongst its visitors.
The lodge was owned by the von Putbus family until 1944 and passed into National Socialist hands on the imprisonment of Malte von Putbus. The family was finally dispossessed as part of the East German land reforms and the castle remains today in state hands. After the end of the Second World War many of the furnishings were lost or stolen, several works of art were taken to the Berlin Art Depot, the agency for the administration of Soviet assets in Germany, and transferred in 1953 to the state museums in Berlin.
Attempts by the grandson of Malte zu Putbus, Franz zu Putbus, to get the family seat returned failed in court. The building is used today as a museum.
The castle was renovated at the beginning of the 21st century at a cost of 7.9 million euros.
The two-storey, plastered, brick edifice has a rectangular ground plan and four small corner towers. In the centre of the building in the old courtroom there is a 38-metre-high central tower, erected later based on plans by Karl Friedrich Schinkel. Inside is a cantilevered circular staircase with 154 cast-iron steps. The static forces of the heavy iron staircase are entirely absorbed by the side walls; because it virtually clamped to the tower.
From the observation platform, 145 metres above sea level (NN), on the roof of the tower, there is a panoramic view in all directions, especially over the south and east of Rügen. In clear visibility the island of Usedom may be seen.
Old hunting rifles are displayed in the “Stags of the World” (Hirsche der Welt) exhibition as well as furniture from the 19th century. In addition there are temporary exhibitions, for example of paintings. Under the direction of experts from the Pomeranian State Museum at Greifswald a permanent exhibition about Prince Malte I zu Putbus and his castle-building project has been created.

Jagdschloss Wabern
The former hunting lodge is located on the northwest outskirts of Wabern in the Schwalm-Eder-Kreis in Northern Hesse.
The three-storey Baroque main design of the hunting lodge was built from 1704 to 1707 according to the designs of the court Johann Conrad Giesler of Landgrave Karl of Hesse-Kassel for his wife Maria Anna Amalia of Courland in the wide plain between the rivers Eder and Schwalm. The swampy underground on the edge of the Ederaue was laid dry for construction and was built with piles. On the side of the Risalit a middle-distance was created, which was completed by a balcony. This was decorated with medallions with relief heads of the land count and his wife. The side building connected by galleries with the main construction allowed Landgrave Friedrich II to build at 1770 by the master builder Simon Louis du Ry, whereby the extension of the now horseshoe-shaped plant was completed.
The philosopher Voltaire was 1755 when he was disgraced by King Frederick II in Potsdam and travelled back to France, guest of the Landgrave Friedrich II in Wabern. Adolph Freiherr Knigge visited the castle on January 14th, 1770. On September 16, 1779 Goethe travelled from Kassel to Combers.
After the death of Frederick II, 1785, the castle was no longer used and fell into decay. First Elector Wilhelm II restored the castle and park in the 1820s and equipped it with 500 oil paintings and 1200 copper engravings. The collection consisted mostly of works by the Tischbein family. The motifs included depictions of the castle from its heyday, portraits of its owners, scenes of the Heron Hunt and illustrations of particularly valuable falcons. Important parts of the collection are now in the Fulda, Schloss Fasanerie. Especially the pictures of the Heron Hunt are highlights of the collection in Fulda. The wall-sized baroque paintings of the Heron Stain were created by Johann Heinrich Leg the Elder (1722 – 1789).
In the connected park is the former stables. It dates back to the 18th century. In 2007 it was converted into a school building, as was the former director’s residence. The park was built with native and foreign plants, but is no longer preserved in its original form.
