Advertisement Posted December 23, 2018 Posted December 23, 2018 Hi war, Take a look here "Do you know this building?" Game Thread. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
NigelG Posted December 23, 2018 Share #2842 Posted December 23, 2018 Bravo - I thought not showing more of the surroundings would make it tricky! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
war Posted December 23, 2018 Share #2843 Posted December 23, 2018 The thing that made it tricky is that the reflective surfaces look black in your photo. For the record it's Sumida Hokusai Museum. Please someone else take my turn. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the record it's Sumida Hokusai Museum. The internal faces of the "cuts" - while structurally glazed - are covered with an external perforated metal screen system (a kind of giant Expamet) and combined with the low light levels in the circulation spaces they read very much as per the photo.....a touch of the shadow slider might have helped though Welcome, dear visitor!

So much for the lens Sweden and the Baltic in terms of Europe is a good guess. However, a more southern EU member state will be more appropriate. One clue: the castle originally was designed to outshine Versaiiles. Due to some war a budget version ended up to be built. The center building, however, reflects the original design.

wlaidlaw Posted January 3, 2019 Share #2848 Posted January 3, 2019 One very odd fact about this building, is that according to some people, the legitimate heir to the British Throne, currently lives there 😁 Wilson Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A very intereisting post-Brexit scenario. Rather unlikely, yet not impossible since the decisive requirement might simply be admitting a roman catholic to the throne 😱 Thumbs up for Wilson who obviously recognised the edifice.

M11 for me Posted January 3, 2019 Share #2850 Posted January 3, 2019 (edited) it is Aarau. No it is not but its looks alike. The stairs of the townhall are very similar if not identical. Edited January 3, 2019 by Alex U. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wlaidlaw Posted January 3, 2019 Share #2852 Posted January 3, 2019 I know the building having been invited to a reception there many years ago but I have nothing interesting to post, so will leave it to others to identify. Wilson Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best Regards, Michael Michael, I guess you refer to my initial posting. So, I take the liberty to answer. It is not in Scotland. One more hint: the stained glass windows of Glasgow cathedral were manufactured in the town you find the castle.

war Posted January 13, 2019 Share #2860 Posted January 13, 2019 At least three persons know the name of this place, but do not seem interested in going further. I would like to see this thread going again so....... Nymphenburg Palace near Munich. The second photo, the stables. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
