內容簡介

The 16th- and early 17th-century castles of the Weser River in northern Germany are the subject of this fascinating and beautifully presented volume. Several essays discuss the architecture, the architectural decoration, the lesser nobility who built these luxurious estates, the arts and education available at their courts, and the geology and economy of the sandstone used in the buildings. The essays are absorbing, but the photographs which fill this oversized volume (it's 11.25x12") in color and b&w plates of the finest quality, are outstanding. The entire text, including captions, is in German and English. There is a bibliography, but no index. Distributed in the US by National Book Network.
