Final week I used to be in a position to get hold of a photograph allow to {photograph} contained in the decayed fortress. Hooray! So I packed my Gonex packable backpack for a someday journey to Pottendorf to {photograph} this decaying magnificence. For this photograph journey, I packed the Rollei Traveller Tripod that I purchased final 12 months and, as all the time once I discover a misplaced place, my Olight S30R flashlight.
Like all castles I have been to to this point, the fortress was constructed and first talked about throughout the twelfth century. All through the centuries, the fortress was prolonged a number of instances and final owned by the noble Esterhazy household.
Throughout The 2nd World Warfare, the fortress was a sick bay for the German Luftwaffe. As of 1945, the fortress started to decay.
Till 2006, the park ragged and was due to this fact closed to the general public. Then, the municipality Pottendorf bought the park and the fortress and revitalized the park. Nonetheless, the fortress stays inaccessible to the general public – however allegedly, that ought to change subsequent 12 months.
So I used to be thrilled that I used to be in a position to get hold of a photograph allow for the fortress.
Observe me by way of the fortress
Whenever you strategy the principle gate of the fortress, you may see how rotten it’s. The roof is lacking, bushes are rising out of the home windows, and the facade is peeling off. You may also see the crest of the Esterhazy Household, who owned the fortress for a number of centuries.
