Our Bikes in front of a castel

Rain? Man, last weekend we made a trip to BMW Manufacurer, we saw how the build the bikes. The next day we made a sighteeing tour, with the our bike, in Berlin. At last the drew us out with a little snowsturm. Not funny. . .

"Charlottenburg"



The week before I made a little trip in my homearea.
Castle Schleiden. Now a home for the alderly.



Castel Dalbenden, privat property

This weekend I rode to the Easter family meeting. It was really cold and the weather was grey, but I did stop to take a picture of 2 castels.


Château de Lucy sur Yonne, France


Château de Chissey-en-Morvan, France

My former bike, the Bird next to Bill's GS on our tour to the Highlands

Thanks guys for your photos. During the last year I find me often thinking "Hm, didn't we have a thread with this thema?!?"

During the Easterdays we made a travel to Verdun. In one hand a very depressing area. . .


But they have nice little roads there. And sometimes without pavement. . .




A kind of a castel, Verdun, France



The ruins of Lauppy-Sur-Loison, France


Larochette castel, France



In europe we have also Forts. Fort de Douaumont/France

YammiYammi! Where I can find it?

Chateau in France

Didn't they build a new old castel in France? I think I read about it. They want to see, how it works. To proof the old tools and technics

Yes, That is Guédelon.

I've visited it a few years ago and it is VERY interesting.
It is built in the Morvan area which is also very nice to ride on a motorcycle.

The same initiator Michel Guyot wants also to build a "new" castel in the USA : http://ozarkmedievalfortress.com/en-us/

An equal plan they had in Messkirch, Bavaria. They want to build a Monastery with the old technics http://www.karolingischeklosterstadt.de// Sorry, no english version. . .

I have to visit the site in France. For sure. . .

Yep, thxs

After a lot of lurking, my first contribution.

Thanks, but it would be interesting to know where is this castle.

Shame on me, the official name is "Landcommanderij Alden Biesen" near Bilzen, Belgium.

Chateau Wickrath, at the other end of my hometown. . .

I had a nice ride this afternoon on the small roads of the Vexin natural park 50 kms from Paris.
By chance I found this nice classical style castle.

It looks like the castle of Moulinsart owned by captain Haddock in the Tintin Comics....





There seems to be a nice park with a tennis court and a big farm.
It is privately owned so no way to visit.
