    What a wonderful photo Alison! I wonder how old it is exactly?

  • Thanks Karen – They aren’t entirely sure of the age but think it was built somewhere around 900 AD… pretty old!

    Hi Alison..you have taken such a good photo of the Steen in my home town.It’s a different angle as the photo I took in the late afternoon, sitting in the car coming out of the parking.If you don’t mind I may upload it with some more narrative.

  • Of course Gilberte! Upload away :) The Steen is such a beautiful castle!
