Yes-that part of the world.

In fact it may have been part of Germany once. Kids build bonfires there at night.

This is a very hard challenge, I have scoured the Fatherland, is it in Poland or Czech Republic? I almost convinced myself it is the Heidelberg castle, but the window sills are different. Stumped.

I am guessing it is one of the old Teutonic knights' castles in what used to be East Prussia.
Schaaken?

It is in Poland (confidence level high). Because my host showed me at least a half dozen such, ranging from ruins in the midst of residential areas to elaborate tourist attractions such as the recent Tower of Death, the confidence level for this particular castle is low. In fact, probably low enough to declare open house. As I mentioned, this one for some reason was 'spooky' even in broad daylight, and I imagine those who built bonfires therein at night were at some level as aware of that sensation as I was. I have the place shown as Drzewica. Open house declared.

Congratulations fin, it is very rare that a challenge defeats the team, spent ages on that one.
As it is OH might I offer this, not a pub, not a castle, where and what is it?

Looks European, take a guess at Germany, and maybe a train station?
We hates Bagginses!
Re: The Smokin' Hot Where On Earth Thread Mk III
Not Germany, not a train station.
I hope that you enjoy this challenge, you may all raise your eyebrows at the answer.

The cars are driving on the left, that clue narrows it down a little, every little helps.

A cemetery/crematorium?

Re: The Smokin' Hot Where On Earth Thread Mk III
No not either, located in a town that is a Transition Town which is a community response to the challenges and opportunities of peak oil and climate change.
The town made famous by a local novelist and has developed Royal interest.

Artnoon all.
Poundbury Tesco perhaps?
Just checked on GE, it's Dorchester Tesco, last time I was there it was all Grecian columns, seems to have been re-developed since then.
Staying with the retail theme , how about this?

Re: The Smokin' Hot Where On Earth Thread Mk III
It is Tesco (every little helps), but not at Poundbury, it is in the main town of Dorchester, I wondered how long this one would take as the last thing that this looks like is a Tesco, I was there at the weekend and thought that it would be an interesting challenge.

In 1984 there was a series of strikes at Southampton Docks and all the cruise ships were rerouted to Cherbourg with the pax flown to and from, a couple of frog Caravelles flew the pax and we operated a creaky old Herald to fly the luggage, I spent a week or so there during this time, mainly drinking in the town which was quite nice.
