As you pass up the avenue you turn sharp round the corner of the court house, and on a steep hill before you you see a mediaeval castle. You think of the Rhine; the "castled crag of Drachenfels"; the Lorelei; and the vine-clad slopes of Germany. And German it is in every line of its architecture and design.
