Large Castle (Grosse Burg) (1885 +/- one year) from an Advertising Triangle

The pictures are large so that you can see the details.


Note the roof of the main building the palace).  It looks like a DS roof, but it is really a think piece of wood with blue stones glued on to give an all-stone look.  The palace seems to be too large to leave room for any useful structure behind it.  I build a version without seeing the picture below.  I assumed (incorrectly) that the palace was symmetrical -- see below for the truth.

The rear view of the palace reveals a vertical wall which leaves room for the loggia.  That this wall is unrealistic in real life is not important.  It is important to note that careful study of both views will not reveal the spacing between the octagonal tower and the red building next to it.  Are they connected?  Even the front-back positioning of the octagonal tower cannot be deduced.  I have built this castle, making judgments which are probably incorrect.
