Castel Mareccio Photo

Photographer's Note

Bolzano is a city in the Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol region of Italy.
Castel Mareccio

Maretsch Castle, locally known as Castel or Burg Maretsch or Castello Mareccio, lies in the city of Bolzano (Bozen in German) in the South-Tyrol province in Italy.The oldest part of Maretsch Castle; the keep, was built around 1194 by Berthold von Bozen. In 1237 the castle was mentioned as a house belonging to Dietmut von Maretsch. In the second half of the 13th century his son Heinrich and the knights Dietrich and Autlin von Maretsch made alterations to the castle.
In 1477 the castle was bought by Sigmund Römer zu Rubein. A fresco of Saint Floriano in the keep dates back to ca. 1500. In 1544 the castle was jointly owned by the Römer brothers; Hans Jakob, Lukas, Christoph and Kaspar. They called themselves Römer von Maretsch. During the course of the 16th century the Römer family rebuilt the castle into the castle we see today; a rectangular complex with 4 round corner towers, the square keep in the north western wall and the open courtyard. Around 1570 they also embellished the castle's interior with a mass of very beautiful frescos representing Biblical scenes, allegorical and fantastic figures and trophies. These are all still in good condition at present and can be seen during a guided tour.In 1580 the castle passed to Maximilian Hendl who, around 1600, installed a chapel in the southern corner tower.From 1658 the castle was in the hands of the Counts of Thun for almost two centuries. They sold it in 1851 to Countess Anna Sarnthein. Later it passed to the Counts of Toggenburg through inheritance.

Under Italy the castle accommodated the State Archives until it was acquired by the city of Bolzano in 1974.

Merci pour cette belle image et bonne journée.

ciao Georg,
Una inquadratura perfetta che va dalla strada alle montagne con in mezzo l'architettura del castello.
Ottima la resa creomatica e i colori caldi.

Czesc Jurek! Zamek, a jednak robi sympatyczne wrazenie, jakby troche miniaturowy ten zamek. Ladne tlo. Bardzo dobre kolory i swiatlo. Klaniam sie!

Hello Georg,
A splendid looking castle nicely captured under a lovely blue sky. The vegetation along the wall makes a pleasing colour contrast with the golden tones of the stonework. Very good natural looking colours and excellent sharpness. Interesting and useful note.

Wonderful view of the castle in its surroundings. You chose an excellent POV so there is some separation between the mountain on the left and the towers of the castle. Also the slight diagonal of the wall is easier on the eye that if it was horizontal.

Hallo Georg,
wudnerbarer Blick auf dieses Castello mit einer wunderbaren Landschaft als Hintergrund. Sehr schöne Komposition, vielleicht hätte ich den Baum zur rechten enfernt, aber wer weiß ob das Bild dann eine gute Balance hätte.
Viele Grüße,
Achim

Cześć Jurek, Wygląda jak Twoje bawarskie zamki, a tu proszę - Włochy. Ale to Tyrol. Ekstra zamek z tymi okrągłymi wieżami, ładnie polożony w górach.

Pozdrawiam

Witaj Jurku,
Moze sie powtorze, ale Twoja galeria to naprawde kopalnia zlota dla kogos, kto wie czego szuka. To zdjecie naprawde wyglada jak osiemnastowieczne malowidlo scienne. Niezwykle miekkie kolory sprawiaja, ze nie mozna przejsc kolo tego zdjecia obojetnie. Cudo!
Pozdrawiam serdecznie,
Darek

Bonjour Georg,
une photo qui vaut le détour, je l'ai remarqué de suite sur la vignette par la richesse et la force de ses couleurs.
Beaucoup de relief aussi.
Un cadrage très réussi.
regards.
Daniel.

Greg1949 (9011) 2009-07-15 5:30

Georg, I like your technique. The colors are "old Postcard" like, wonderfully saturated and illuminated or bright. I also like the composition, the diagonal line in the fg that parallels the wall and then the chop of the hills, great work.

Greg

Czesc Jurek,
chyba sie domyslam gdzie mniej wiecej mieszkasz i bardzo Ci tego zazdroszcze.
Kluczem do zobaczenia wielu ciekawych miejsc na co dzien jest dobra lokalizacja.
Przejezdzalem kilka razy przez to miasteczko ale bez zatrzymywania sie.
Sliczny ten zameczek, pieknie polozony w gorach.
Ladnie go pokazales. Jak zwykle piekne zywe kolory i nieskazitelna kompozycja.
