A rummage through the archives threw up this beautiful old picture of the right hand wing of Schloss Pesch, just as the leaves were turning.

This photograph was taken before the installation of modern gates. The driveway used to be a network of muddy puddles of varying depths. It wasn’t too bad negotiating it in a car, but on a bicycle in the dark it was only for the hardened adventurer….
Growing up around Schloß Pesch
In The Devil’s Missal, the main character, Holda, spent her early childhood around Schloss Pesch. When she returns as an adult, revisiting those scenes sparks some strange memories… conscious and subconscious.

I realised that the photos on this blog so far have only shown Schloss Pesch from the front as you enter through the main gate.
