[Postcard -- Scene: VIANDEN, Haupteingarg der Schloßruine, Entrée principale des Ruines]

Well here is a close view of the last arch. The drive is lined on
each side with evergreen trees, making a beautiful appearance.
Above this door (not shown in picture) there is a stone alcove or
shoot, where molten lead or hot water or any thing could be
dropped on the heads of a besieging party.
On thru you see another door. This part is occupied by an old man
who shows people thru, collects sourvenirs. I saw pieces of
furniture made in 1400 & 1500. and paintings too. all kinds of
arms, spears, swords, helmets every thing it seemed to me along
that line.
