Two large, dark wooden statues of medieval guards stand on either side of a large arched stone gate with a thick, studded wooden door. The statues are positioned in front of a grey stone castle building with a turret on the right. Lush green ivy covers the stone walls of the castle and the surrounding foliage is green and vibrant under a blue, cloudy sky.
