A place to show off those architectural wonders of the past & present....
Castle Montfort, Tettnang / Schloss Montfort, Tettnang

If something seems very wrong here, with the form of the half pillar base at the step, of the way the shadow falls, yes it is. This is not stukko, all of the showy portal but the innermost doorframe is an illusionist paint job. / Wenn da was nicht richtig erscheint, etwa mit der Sockelform der Pillaster wo sie die Treppe treffen oder der Schattenwurf, das stimmt schon so. Hier ist kein Stukko, abgesehen vom inneren Tuerramen ist alles an dem aufgedonnerten Portal illusionistische Malerei.

I guess painting the elaborate entrance was more cost effective ;)

Especially as it is the backdoor. However the owner still went bancrupty from all the fancy building eventually, lost not only the castle but the whole duchy to the austrian-hungarian empire. Luckily it's long in germany.
