Do you happen to know what year that was?

Yes Dan. 27th October at 12.34 for the castle an 12.57 for the kitchen photo

And if you like the kitchen taps then you'd love to have a shower or bath

Yes, I wanted to know what year the last castle in England was built.

I looked it up: Constructed between 1911 and 1930, it was the last castle to be built in England.

The date triggered a memory. If you're into this sort of thing, check out Casa Loma in Toronto, Canada. I was there in 2017. Very interesting with what appears to be a high tourist volume.

Correct Dan. It's a bit sad because if I remember right the bloke who had the place built died just a year after it was finished. A bloke called Drew. The wiki link gives his history and his desire not only to have lots of pennies but some higher lordly blood in his family

Sorry Dan, but I thought that you were asking when I took the pikkys

I did a search for "palace Sanssouci" but did not find anything. Do you know when this was built?

Sanssouci (German pronunciation: [ˈsãːsusi]) is a historical building in Potsdam, near Berlin. Built by Prussian King Frederick the Great as his summer palace, it is often counted among the German rivals of Versailles. While Sanssouci is in the more intimate Rococo style and is far smaller than its French Baroque counterpart, it, too, is notable for the numerous temples and follies in the surrounding park. The palace was designed and built by Georg Wenzeslaus von Knobelsdorff between 1745 and 1747 to meet Frederick's need for a private residence where he could escape the pomp and ceremony of the royal court. The palace's name is a French phrase (sans souci) meaning "without worries" or "carefree", emphasising that the palace was meant as a place of relaxation rather than a seat of power.

I have a link to the Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.o​rg/wiki/Sanssouci

I liked potsdam more then Berlin
