A large castle stands on a rocky peninsula extending into a still mountain lake. Thick defensive walls enclose several courtyards, with a tall rectangular keep rising behind lower residential buildings and tiled galleries. A stone causeway connects the gatehouse to a wooded shore where reeds grow beside a small boathouse. The lake reflects the castle’s pale walls and the dark slopes beyond. Early morning light reaches the eastern towers while thin mist remains close to the water, partly obscuring the distant shoreline and the bases of the surrounding hills.
