Ah, Royalty.37

Above you’ll see the one of the most impressive and oldest original items in this semi-royal residence museum which I’ve only shown you once before even though the visit was in late May. I’m posting just about every remaining photo from my visit to the Markiezenhof now, since I have plenty of other photos for this series and currently reside and work in a nation where royal palaces are much easier to find than mountains. Strike that: in which anything one could reasonably describe as a mountain does not in fact exist, but people considered royal and thus their residences and such are generally rather plentiful. In the gallery below you’ll see some explanations of the displays including the altar above, if you’re interested. And at the bottom is the entrance to the whole compound: apparently my trip happened on day when some commercial company had rented the entry for an event or party of some sort or other, thus the folks with drinks in hand crowding the entrance.
