Castle Ennsegg

[StephanN]

Castle Ennsegg is located in the Austrian city of Enns (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schloss_Ennsegg, sorry, no English Wiki for this, perhaps this will serve: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enns_(city)).

 

Enns is famous (well, within the country) for two reasons:

 

1. In Roman times, it was a pretty important town, going by the name of Lauriacum (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lauriacum).

2. It was given city-rights in the year 1212, and the corresponding document is the oldes one of its kind in Austria, making Enns the oldest city of Austria.

 

Due to its particular shape it's not as splendid as other castles, but it's very popular for weddings (as you can see in one of the photos, where the wedding party is seen waiting for the happy couple.  The statue in from of it goes by the name "Der Mensch - ein Empfangender" (The Human - a recieving One).

 

All the photos taken with Canon EOS 6D, fixed 700nm, and Canon 17-40mm lens
