The Meier's German Adventure

We have visitors! And there was no rest for the weary. Mom and Dad arrived in Germany yesterday and today we were of to explore some more of the Deutsche Weinstrasse - which explains why we did the PDSS last week! We started the day off with another castle - the castle of Neuleiningen ( Burgdorf Neuleiningen). This castle was built between the years 1238 and 1241 a.d. by count Friedrich III. It served as a checkpoint into the valley. Unfortunately, this castle was also destroyed and burned by the French in 1690. What remains is still very impressive with the massive round towers that rest at the corners of the castle.
