Another one for #MonochromeMarch: #Wiesenburg Castle in all its #RenaissanceRevival glory.

This #castle (shown here from the rear, overlooking the gardens) has roots in the Middle Ages, though its current design dates back to the 19th century. From 1947 to 1992, it served as a (boarding) school. Afterward, the castle was restored and now houses modern private apartments, offices, and studios – none of which are open to the public.

#Groningen station has recently been beautifully renovated and drastically modified from a head-end station to a through-station. The station hall though is absolutely gorgeous!

Between light and shadow, a divine story unfolds on the skin.
This is more than a tattoo—it’s a visual hymn to creation, fall, and redemption.
Inspired by sacred art and mythic imagery, each inch of skin becomes a canvas for cosmic narrative.

Every time I see the Federal Administrative Court in Leipzig, I sense its historical significance. The building's architecture, blending Neo-Renaissance and Baroque styles, reflects its rich history since 1895. The magnificent dome and detailed facades symbolize stability and tradition amidst changing times.

Jedes Mal, wenn ich das Bundesverwaltungsgericht in Leipzig betrachte, spüre ich die historische Bedeutung. Die Architektur des Gebäudes, geprägt von Neorenaissance und Barock, erzählt von seiner wechselvollen Geschichte seit 1895. Vor allem die prachtvolle Kuppel und detailreiche Fassaden symbolisieren Beständigkeit und Tradition mitten im Wandel der Zeit.

We usually look down and scroll our smart phones but THIS is what you can discover next time you look up instead :)

This is a picture of the main entrance to Birger Jarlspassagen, Stockholm's oldest shopping arcade. 
I was waiting for a friend to join me for lunch and - luckily - looked up as opposed to what I usually do to kill time (checking my phone).

It’s a pity I only took this one picture, after reading more about the place I realised I just NEED to go back and take some more photos to share here.
The arcade - I Googled - was inaugurated in 1897 during King Oscar II's reign and it is inspired by Berlin's Kaisergalerie and the Burlington Arcade in London.
The passage embodies late 19th-century European architectural styles of neo-renaissance and romanesque elements - this is new knowledge to me and if you are an expert in this place or style, feel free to add photos or comments!
Anyway, I thought it’s a rare treasure and worth sharing here if you are interested in architecture and/or historical styles! 
Btw, there’s great shopping in there as well, although not the primary topic of my feeds here :) #neorenaissance #romanesquerevivalstyle #stockholm
