The remains of a small castle stand in a beech and oak forest during autumn. One round tower is still half standing, with a broken top edge and empty window openings, while sections of the outer wall have collapsed into low mounds covered with moss. A faint path of flattened leaves leads from a fallen gateway to the center of the old courtyard, where a stone well is partly buried in ferns. Leaves in orange, brown, and yellow cover the ground, and bare branches are starting to show in the upper canopy. The sky is overcast and evenly lit, so there are no hard shadows. A light drizzle darkens the stone, and low fog sits between the tree trunks in the background.
