ah yes pre-cancer when the Rhein was gorgeous. Schloss Vollrads. been here twice a gorgeous wine estate and the wine is good too ~
Artesh, if you look the "screen walls" on Nogonbad and Bamburgh are almost identical, this castle building "technology" was learned by the Normans on the crusades. A typical Norman castle before the crusades was like this, starting with a mound of earth and a tower and then adding baileys or encircled areas.
After the crusades they had straight walls with towers at the corners like Harlech

There are many "clay" castles similar to this one in iran, the most notable one is the Karim Khan Citadel:

I like the color combinations for the castle which is under renovation.

Artesh as far as I know the Pfalz is completed in it's paint scheme. originally all dark stone as most of the Castles along this river. They have been painted -some of them in white/yellow as pin points . Probably for photographers. Will post what I mean in a moment.
