 Undated Postcard
[Postcard -- Scene: Vianden]
(2)
This gets us a bit closer. The big tower on right corner is at
least 25 ft in diameter - walls is between 4 & 5 ft. thick. The
heavy battlement around edge is very heavy. And in very good
condition considering its being built in 711 or it was inhabited
then. The roof was made of copper - dismantled & sold in 1800
some time with exception of the chapel. The old tower described
above has a dungeon of 30 or more feet deep.
See the firing holes and battlements around the place would
take more than hand grenades to knock out this place.
