I assume they were for the clock and/or bells in the tower.

The middle drum drove the clock itself, you can see the drive going vertically up. The right hand drum struck the hours. Possibly the drum on the left struck the quarter-hours.

I am enamored with old, tarnished, and rusting gears.

If you cracked my skull open you would find a similar sight I would venture.

My guess would be a clock and bell ringer, there was something similar in the big clock tower at Pier A, the old fireboat station at the Battery in NYC. That had a great Seth Thomas brass movement in it and a plaque dedicating it to the solders and sailors it was built in the era of mayor Hyland ?

What a great shot Motts. Did you light this or was this natural light? Very nice.

Motts,

Work at a 200 year old distillery and down the road from me they are tearing down two huge old distilleries. They have all of the equipment in them and would be neat to see them photographed before they are gone. This is my favorite site you do great work. The distilleries are in KY

They look in good condition...did you try to see if they worked? I mean...there's no one living there or listening and i doubt it would expload....The structure itself being maede of stone (and I being into Architectural history) would vouch for structural integrity...also if I went to germany I would so go to this place how do you get to it?

Announcing my location while exploring isn't really my style...

From Germany - you drive West, to Belgium. :-)

I am glad that you designed this site to accept comments. Whoever designed this feature into your website- Kudos to him or her! Most sites you have to join something to write a comment. Hope you have the chance to live in a castle for even a short time. Glen Erie in Colorado near the Pictured rocks is hopefully still open to reservations. That was my only Castle stay. Unintentional play on words-ha ha
