Imagine you’re walking down one corridor of the castle where I was a governess. On the right, you can look out the windows to the far wing, and down to the central area in the hollow square of the building. If you unlatched the glass, you could lean out and look to your right to see the archway leading out of the castle. To the left you could see the Bavarian Baroque façade of the little church built into the castle itself.
Pulling back inside, you see the line of ancestor portraits hung between the windows. Immediately to your left is an area with a Persian carpet, leading to the Count’s apartments, and just beyond the wall with the tapestry you can catch a glimpse of the stair leading up to the attic.
