5th Day of Castles along the Danube & Rhine



19th-Century spires on the Gothic St. Peter's Cathedral
(Dom St. Peter) in Regendsburg, Germany.
Regendsburg has survived 85% of old historic buildings
during the WWII.


Regendsburg-Old Stone Bridge
(1135-1146) with 16 arches over the Danube River

It looks like a Chippendale's dancer at Old Stone Bridge,
supposing to represent a scout, watching for
approaching ships.
