This little corner, with windows on three sides, sticks out from the wall of the castle, and is called an Ecker. It’s comfortable on winter days when it’s sunny, since the castle could be chilly. It overlooks the outer courtyard, and the large family house (where we lived because it was easier to heat), is visible. You can see the two windows of my room; the first two past the middle of the left-hand window. The castle has been restored since I lived there, and Count Carl and his family live in it.
