Architecture

Buildings and the built environment — facades, interiors, ruins, bridges.

A gravel path between low hedges running to the domed Diana temple in the Hofgarten under a heavy evening sky. The sculpted baroque gable of a church, saints and cherubs standing along the parapet against a pale sky. The formal parterre at Linderhof, beds of red and purple flowers around clipped lawn, statues on plinths against tall hedges. Linderhof palace across its oval basin, the wooded slope and a rocky ridge rising steeply behind. Neuschwanstein castle in full, its towers and gables above the treeline with the lakes and plain of the Allgäu beyond. The gardens of Linderhof from above, the oval basin and terraced parterres running up to a wooded ridge and grey mountains. Neuschwanstein castle on its wooded crag, white walls and towers against forested slopes and cloud. A view over Hohenschwangau village and its lake to forested mountains, the yellow castle among the trees. A row of stepped-gable townhouses in grey, yellow and red along a sunlit street, cars parked in front. A broad stone staircase rises toward a red-roofed temple building with crowds ascending the steps. A tree-lined street passes between traditional timber-frame buildings with white plaster and dark wooden bracing. A dog rests on gravel in front of a wooden structure with weathered timber walls. A traditional building with dark wooden roof overhang and white walls framed by forest. Curved upturned roof edge with traditional tile work framed by trees. An orange torii gate marks an entrance in a Japanese garden, with stone lanterns and rocks amid dense vegetation.
