Landestrost Castle

Landestrost Castle (German: Schloss Landestrost) is a castle in the Weser Renaissance style that was built between 1573–84 in Neustadt am Rübenberge in the north German state of Lower Saxony. Integrated into fortifications, together with the town, it developed into an urban fortress typical of the 16th century. The castle was the representative residence and administrative headquarters of its master, Duke Eric II of Brunswick-Lüneburg. During the construction period from 1574 he renamed the town of Neustadt as Landestrost, something which was reverted after his death in 1584.

gollark: i.e. if I tried to just pass a mutable reference to a map to all of the stuff I run in different threads, it'd be a compiler error, so instead it's a `Arc<Mutex<T>>`.
gollark: Well, you can spawn threads, and the type system prevents weirdness with concurrency.
gollark: Oh, and Rust has that nice thing where you can't keep around both a mutable reference and immutable references to stuff.
gollark: I'm not a C++ologist, so what happens if you, say, allocate a hash map in a function, then return a reference to an element in that hashmap?
gollark: Not really. Any pointer handling or whatever can be unsafe.
