Burghaus Castle, Bavaria, Germany -- Tourists enter from their parking lot (once the moat) at the north end and walk backward through history as courtyards were added south-to-north over the centuries. This outermost courtyard was once protected by earthworks 24 feet high and a drawbridge, now gone. Behind these fortification were housed offices (e.g., the tax collector) and a granary (torn down in 1800.) Today the clocktower provides the focus of what was once the largest “Hof” or courtyard.
