Le palais du Prince-électeur de la ville de Trèves a été la résidence des électeurs de Trèves, c'est-à-dire des archevêques de Trèves, depuis le XVIIe siècle jusqu'en 1794. Les bâtiments renaissance et rococo ont été en partie construits sur le site de la basilique romaine de l'empereur Constantin. Au cours du XIXe siècle, l'aile ouest du palais a été détruite afin de restaurer la basilique dans son état initial.
Après l'éviction des électeurs sous Napoléon, le palais a été utilisé comme caserne par les troupes françaises et prussiennes au XIXe siècle jusqu'au début du XXe siècle. Le bâtiment a été gravement endommagé pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale . Ensuite, les bâtiments d'activité économique, appelé château inférieur, a été complètement démoli, à l'exception de la tour rouge et d'un portail. Aujourd'hui, le bâtiment abrite plusieurs administrations. Une partie de l'aile nord est utilisée par la communauté protestante (salle Caspar Olevian) tandis qu'une partie de l'aile sud est utilisée à des fins représentatives (salles de réception ou de spectacles).
The Palace of the Prince-Elector of the City of Trier was the residence of the Electors of Trier, i.e. the Archbishops of Trier, from the 17th century until 1794. The Renaissance and Rococo buildings were partly built on the site of the Roman basilica of Emperor Constantine. During the 19th century, the west wing of the palace was destroyed in order to restore the basilica to its original state.
After the Electors were ousted under Napoleon, the palace was used as barracks by French and Prussian troops in the 19th century until the beginning of the 20th century. The building was badly damaged during World War II. Then the buildings of economic activity, called lower castle, were completely demolished, except for the red tower and a portal. Today, the building houses several administrations. Part of the north wing is used by the Protestant community (Caspar Olevian room) while part of the south wing is used for representative purposes (reception rooms or performance halls).

Nijo Castle's legendary Ninomaru Garden and it's koi pond, which is lined with decorative boulders gathered throughout all corners of Japan, were designed in 1626 on the castle grounds for Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the Tokugawa (Edo) shogunate (1603–1867). If you have read James Clavell's novel "Shogun" or watched the Shogun TV series, you're already familiar with Tokugawa Ieyasu because Clavell based the warlord 'Lord Toranaga' on him.)
Lord Tokugawa unified Japan in 1600, following twenty six years of civil war at the end of the 16th century. In 1601 he directed Japan's daimyos (feudal lords) to construct Nijo Castle as his Kyoto residence in a location very close to the Imperial Palace.
The castle grounds, completed in 1603 (amazingly after only two years!), are spectacular, covering 68 acres (27.5 hectares) which include 86,000 sq ft (8,000 sq m) of buildings including two palaces, ponds, rock gardens, and inner- and outer moats. It is now a World Heritage Site.
Upon completion, Tokugawa moved in and hosted a ceremony wherein Japan's Emperor announced to the gathered feudal lords his appointment of Tokugawa as Shogun. Tokugawa's main residence and his new seat of government was in Edo (now called Toyko), so this huge Nijo Castle was akin to his 'country home' used primarily whenever he visited the emperor in the Imperial Capital.
In 1614 the shogun led his samurai army from Nijo Castle on his victorious Siege of Osaka Castle which ended the line of the Toyotomi family, his last political opposition, and established himself as the absolute polical ruler of Japan. His shogunate lasted two hundred sixty four years. In 1857 the 15th Shogun of his line, Tokugawa Yoshinobu, ended shogunate rule and returned political control to the Emperor as Japan opened to the world.
Well, how would you look at Osborne House, the private residence Victoria and Albert had built for themselves around 1850 and in Italianate style on the Isle of Wight? A place of calm where they would recover from the strenuous business of being Queen and representing the royal and quite imperial first family of what then was a world power. I find the boar, this symbol of wilderness and ferociousness (the pig, profoundly unacceptable in some traditions), quite adequate. After all, imperial rule and colonialism were brutal in essence. But then, you would perhaps expect me to say this because I am an old republican. In this matter, one can have many points of view. Fuji X100F.

Besides making a scene, I also wanted to expand onto the Aurean landscape and build something nice that I could display as well. Here is my sig fig's residence. A lovely hideaway tucked into the rocks. Perfect for anyone trying to stay out of the way.
One of the original buildings at the picturesque McLean Saw Mill near Port Alberni, on Vancouver Island. It reminded me of the one room shack from the Beverly Hillbillies.
Last time I was walking through the city on a cold gray morning I saw this place.
Just a pigeon residence.
