| Old doorknocker on one of those 12 inch or thicker wooden doors that you find in Europe. This was in Dresden, Germany... I think? These doors are huge too- about 10 feet tall. Usually double doors too. I've always taken photos of these whenever I see interesting ones. |

| I saw this on an old stone wall with nothing else around it. |
 |
| I'm always noticing old windows, doors, doorknockers and mail slots. Isn't that a nice set? The door knocker is of course much older as indicated by the much simpler style. IT is probably original to the door? This door is hundreds of years old. These wooden doors are about 10 foot tall or taller and over a foot thick. I love the detailed work on the mail slot and the door handle. |

| Look at how simple the face is over the doorway. Many old ledges, doors, etc. have statues or faces on them. The door locks have also changed through the years- you can see 3 different styles. |
 |
| The archway probably also held a wooden doorway long ago? It is now a shop. I really like the ornate ironwork on the balconies. This is a very old building- one indicator is of course the 'barely there' Juliette balcony style. The wooden shutters behind the balcony are fairly new; usually you'll see the wooden shutters that open outward on a building this old. |
