Guess where?

[Muizer]

Where?

Want to give it another shot? Usually I pick an image from the web and save it on my desktop. Then I check with TinEye to make sure it can't find it. Then I upload it to an image hosting site (in my case photobucket) and post an img link here.

Thanks, but someone else can take my go

[Treize]

Ok:


If you know what this is well, chapeau.

[Muizer]

Hum, yes. That's not going to be easy. Looks like a 18th century stately home or small chateau. Pic says it's a manor, but it doesn't look British to me. Northern France?

[Prince of Essling]

I agree with Muizer this is not going to be easy. Initially I too thought Northern France but having looked closely at the picture there is a hint of a Bavarian checkered colour scheme....so I am going to hazard a guess that it is fact in Germany, and in a part that belonged to Bavaria - not necessarily modern Bavaria

Germany

You guys can recognise the silliest of small towns from the silliest of pictures so you should be able to find this lol.

[Muizer]

So, what clues are we missing? It seems to me to be a rather ordinary mansion with no distinctive features. There could be hundreds of these that nobody ever bothered to write a word about on the web

[Treize]

Exactly! I have watched this thread quite often I it looks like you guys have seen either the entire world, read all of wikipedia or watched everything on Google Maps. It is madness. So I issue a mad challenge.

I will give hints, don't worry.


-Germany
-Not Bavaria
-Located in a small village of almost 12000 people right next to a small city of about 50000.

NRW?

[lolIsuck]

Probably one of the towns around Kleef, I'm going to guess Issum because it has a population of 11.871.

[Treize]

NRW?

Jawohl.

Probably one of the towns around Kleef, I'm going to guess Issum because it has a population of 11.871.

Nein.

[Muizer]

And that city of 50.000, is that also in Germany?

[Treize]

Oh yes.

The village (not that city) is famed for its spa.

[Prince of Essling]

Is it http://www.histohotels.com/schloss-leyenburg.html

[Treize]

No.

Hint: graduation tower.

[Muizer]

Schloss-Haus-Sassendorf

Oh well, I had the period right

Next one. Ridiculously easy by comparison

[Treize]

The tower gave it away?

[Muizer]

The combination. There are still at least two options for a Spa ("Bad") in Nordrhein Westfalen with a graduation tower. Only one fitted the town size criteria.

Uluru - Ayers Rock Australia?

Uluru also known as Ayers Rock Edit: Damn Andre beat me to pushing the post button!
