This castle was first established in 1286 as a wooden donjon but was rebuilt in stone. It was attacked or destroyed by fire and rebuilt several times during the following centuries. In 1672 the Netherlands were invaded by the French army and in early 1673, the castle was deliberately burned down as a punishment for non-payment of taxes levied by the French.
The former Emperor of Germany, Wilhelm II, sought refuge in the Netherlands in November 1918 and lived in the castle until May 1920, when he moved to Doorn, where he spent the rest of his life. It was in the Castle of Amerongen that he signed the Act of Abdication.

Beautiful composition, great process.
Perhaps one might think
there is too much sky,
but I think that gives a unique perspective.

Thank you very much guys, I went slightly out of the rule of thirds with the sky but wanted to gradient to slowly bring that rule of thirds composition back in.
