Leuchtenberg Castle


Brittany took me to Leuchtenberg, a castle ruin perched on the top of a hill above Leuchtenberg, the city. It was a relatively small castle ruin, but it was fun to go down into the dungeons (it wasn't specified as a dungeon, but that is what we decided the underground room was) and climb to the tallest tower. The weather was gorgeous that day (Thursday), which made for good castle-exploring and lovely views.




Thanks to our recent visit to the Medieval Crime Museum in Rothenburg, I can tell you that the birdcage-like thing within which I am confined is called a pillory, and was used to embarrass criminals in front of the whole town.



In this one, Brittany can face the bright sunlight (literally), while I cannot.
