Scenic Schloss Senden-2
Schloss Senden is pictured here in its sedate beauty, this serene setting has been the scene of countless feuds for over half a millennium of its existence with in fighting between the family lines of the Von Sendens.
The Droste zu Senden family an offshoot of the Senden family had owned the castle since the 14th century and sold it off due to its ailing state in 1957after 500 years of continuous ownership.
The developer that purchased the castle tried various endeavors to start a business out of the Schloss but was unsuccessful at all of them and abandoned the effort in the early eighties leaving the castle to fall in on its self.
The Castle was well on its way to becoming a forgotten place and sinking slowly into ruin when a group of seven citizens formed a preservation society and have been since leading the charge to restore and reclaim some functionality for the castle in the community.
I took this with my D750 and Tamron SP 24-70mm 2.8 G2 Lens at 26mm 1/60s, f/11 ISO 100 processed in LR, Topaz Denoise, PS +Lumenzia, finished with Focalblade
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.
