Kick-ass KD Kruise -9
Displayed here is the Maus Castle the Jerry of the Katz and Maus castle duo, it was started in the mid 14th century by the Archbishop of Triers after securing rights to charge tolls along his portion of the Rhine.
The construction took 30 years to complete and it was due to this long period of construction that the name Burg Maus was bestowed by the Count of Katz castle who said with ridicule “ That Burg Maus was the mouse that would be eaten by the Cat (Burg Katz) “ the name caught on with the locals and has been known this way ever since.
The castle unlike its neighbors got the last laugh as it was never destroyed by combat but instead slipped in a slow state of decline beginning in the 16th century later to be restored by Wilhelm Gärtner in the start of the 20th century to great historical detail.
Today the castle is host to a large aviary that provides falconry displays and also flight demonstrations of owls and eagles from March to October.
I took this with my D750 and Tamron SP 70-200mm 2.8 G2 Lens processed in LR, PS luminosity masks and DXO Nik
Disclaimer: Not trying to be realistic in my editing there is enough realism in the world, my style is a mix of painterly and romanticism as well as a work in progress.
