Support Would be nice if the article could be expanded, as it's an interesting looking building, with a good history, yet there's only really a weak annacdote giving anything of interest to read within it.

The picture is about a fortification, and therefore Architecture is IMO better. Armbrust ^{The Homunculus} 11:59, 8 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
