German Castles and Palaces by K Merten

German Castles and Palaces by Klaus Merten in hardback format with original dust jacket. 256 pages Germany has a wealth of magnificent palaces and castles, rich in art and history. Photographed by Paolo Marton and described by a team of local scholars, this collection of photographs records an incredible number of architectural styles, from the Gothic severity of Schloss Gattorf to the fin-de-siecle madness of King Ludwig's Bavarian castles. Many, such as Berlin's Charlottenburg and Wurzburg's Residenz with its splendid Tiepolo frescoes are popular tourist sites.
