Castle pen drawing! Any idea if this is an original or where it might be of?

Most recent Goodwill find! I love this as I'm obsessed with castles but really want to know more about it.

I can't quite make out what the title/location is... Freielburg or something like that?

Any idea who the artist is?

Thanks in advance for any ideas!

Freidburg castle, Freidburg Germany. It is not an original drawing, it is a lithograph and maybe an "artist's proof" from the center mark. The artist signed with his/her initials only and I am not familiar with that signature.

Thank you for the information. I had found that castle in searches, but the word looked like it had too many letters in it to match! hah

How can I tell a print/lithograph vs an original in the future?

That is cool I hope to win the lottery and buy a Castle in England servants butlers the whole 9 kinda like a Vincint Price Castle I am very serious. That is a great buy

Heck A2, plenty of them around here. Google "castles of the Hudson Valley" and go to images. There are some real beauties and they sometimes come up for sale. Now you just gotta hit the powerball. Lyndhurst is right across the river from me, a gorgeous residence now in a trust. My father spent a couple of years re-painting the faux marble columns and ceilings in the entranceway and downstairs. He did it for free when he retired from the Scenic Artist's Union.

My dream to at least visit real castles someday!
