In the late 17th century, the castle was repeatedly attacked and ultimately destroyed by the French in the War of the Grand Alliance.(Submitted on October 4, 2024, by James Hulse of Medina, Texas.)These catastrophic events are commemorated in a spectacular fireworks display, held several times each year. In 1764, after some makeshift repairs, the battered castle was heavily damaged again: this time by the forces of Nature, in the form of two devastating lightning strikes. The once-proud residence caught fire – and was left in ruins.Photographed by James Hulse, September 22, 20242. Bibliotheksbau / Library Building Marker
