Nijmegen, Netherlands: Barbarossa Ruins

This certainly is an odd part of a nice park located near the waterfront. 

It was once part of a palace that dates back to 1155, and was constructed by Frederik Barbarossa - the emperor of the region at the time. This part was spared for some reason when the rest of the building was destroyed in 1796. As for what's left, well, they don't call it ruins for nothing. 

Valkhof Park certainly is a nice place for a walk, and this is an interesting little stop along the way.
