I do believe this is Castle Liechtenstein, near Vienna, Austria
Took a lot of searching through castles in most other surrounding countries before I found it!

Apols for delay in replying - unplanned family business; the business that is, not the family.

Smeagol gets it right and now has control.

Correct om15 - the quote was from the wit of Noel Coward - "Very flat, Norfolk." (-|

When my mother was a Wren in Liverpool, they were on parade at HMS Wellesley (the barracks) and Noel Coward inspected them. Being young and naive she didn't understand why he didn't seem very interested in chatting to any of the girls. Times have changed and no one is entitled to a private life now.

You have control.

Thank you,

I used to live near there, unlike this challenge which is a place that I have never been to.

There are a lot of statues of this chap around the world.
