I'm trying to find out which place this is a picture of (see link): (I'll now do as mattnewport did and put the image straight here): I'm assuming it's in Europe. I haven't been in Europe much - to me it just looks Austrian or German - can anyone here identify which palace or building this is? If not, can anyone help me out with what style of architecture it is (time-period or nationality)? Is this a Baroque style building? Thanks in advance to anyone who can help! I'm trying to find out the exact name and location of it. By the way, the picture is of a calendar from ~1981 in China. The text below it says ORIENT, it's on a calendar (apparently) with advertisements for ORIENT watches (a Japanese watch company). I don't think any of this is related.

Judging by the watches, I'd say it's in Switzerland.

Ah - someone from the lonelyplanet messageboards figured it out.

It's called Einsiedeln in Switzerland, it's an Abbey (and the name of the city near the Abbey as well).

Here is the link:

Thanks for giving it some thought everyone who did!
