Well, it wasn’t always always a place for royal offspring – the castle in Eutin. Originally built by some bishops, only later it began hosting crowned heads of European monarchy. Residing not far from Eutin ourselves (though in much plainer circumstances), we decided to visit the castle and see for ourselves the splendors of the place. Of course, we completely missed the signs that say you have to pay extra if you want to take pictures (and despite us having our cameras out in the open, even the friendly person at the register failed to inform us about the fact). So, we almost got ourselves into trouble when we were caught taking pictures without the respective ticket permitting us to do so. But fortunately, we were able to avoid greater disaster by simply paying the small fee and so no harm was done. And of course, now having paid for the photos, it’s only right to share them with you …
