This evening I had the opportunity to see the Nanstein Castle in Landstuhl. I hope you enjoy the pictures.

| This was the enlisted soldiers' baracks. |
 |
| Another view of the enlisted baracks... as compared to... |
 |
| The Officers' Quarters. |

 |
| More than just a decorative fountain, the basen was used to collect rain water. |
 |
| I didn't see it in the tour guide, but I'm almost certain the blue trashcan liner is an authentic, 12th century piece. |
 |
| Kind of like a duck blind, arrows could be fired out through the openings on either side of the gate, but virtually impossible for an enemy to fire into the castle. |

Great pics! My ancestors came from Kaiserslautern, Otterberg and Zweibrucken. I've been there and I definitely want to go back! I hope you get to Otterberg one of these days. The cathedral is beautiful.
