Visit of the castle by its owner who welcomed us very well. He loves his place and tells a thousand anecdotes of his family. Presence of a multitude of objects having belonged to his ancestors. Note that a wing is rented and restored by Chanel for its presentations.

Very beautiful residence, isolated in the middle of the fields !! but which has charm, and the history of the residence is interesting.... Good visit to you now!

Private 17th century chateau. Particular in the sense that this one is designed a bit like a Chartreuse with a central garden. The building is made up of several wings. A part is restored and rented by Chanel for its presentations. Very stylish. The old part of the castle is a set of rooms with a heap of family objects which sometimes clutter the rooms which loses its charm. Some lights are reviewed. But the visit remains very pleasant. Too bad the beautiful garden in front is not accessible every day!! It is independent of the castle.

Château avec une disposition italienne autour d'une cour et d'une promenade protégée. Des pièces dans leur jus. Visite intéressante un peu longuette. Mais très beau site à visiter pour encourager les propriétaires à préserver le patrimoine.

Very nice discovery. Since the place has always been in the same family, the furniture is very well furnished. The guide, who is also the owner, will make your visit wonderfully. Good visit

Stobi

Stobi was an ancient town of Paeonia located near Gradsko. It is considered by many to be the most famous archaeological site in North Macedonia. Stobi was built where the Erigon (Crna River) joins the Axios (Vardar), making it strategically important as a center for both trade and warfare.

Stobi developed from a Paeonian settlement established in the Archaic period. It is believed that in 217 BCE, Philip V annexed Paionia during his campaign against the Dardani who had entered Bylazora, the largest Paeonian town.

The city was first mentioned in writing by the historian Livy, in connection with a victory of Philip V of Macedon over the Dardani in 197 BC. In 168 BC, the Romans defeated Perseus and Macedonia was divided into four nominally independent republics. In 148 BC, the four areas of Macedonia were brought together in a unified Roman province. In the reign of Augustus the city grew in size and population.
