manor house (AT)

Last year I traveled to Austria, met some great people and saw some amazing locations. This first post shows a large manor house, herrenhause, situated in the middle of a city. Visited on a very sunny day. The highlights was a couple of nice staircases with paintings and columns and other details, and a room with a collapsed ceiling. The blue color resemblance the falling of the sky. Other than that there were lots of empty rooms, fireplaces and strange bathrooms. Don’t know much about the history of the place, but I think the owner of an demolished nearby factory lived here with his servants. Correct me if I’m wrong, and don’t rely on the information in the last sentence.

In the basement there were a small corridor perfect for playing with silhouettes and lights.
