After many years we visited the beautiful Petershagen Castle at the weekend. It's great to see what has happened here in the last few years to bring the castle back to life. We only got a first impression of the public area and it leaves us wanting more. The guest room is super rustic and fits perfectly into the authentic ambience - the vaulted seating areas in particular are a hit. The beer garden also invites you to linger on nice days. Great work has been done here. Unfortunately the season is almost over but we'll be back.

A beautiful castle under reconstruction under difficult regulations. It is an admirable work that is currently being done there. The castle offers self-service drinks and food in the beer garden. There is a rustic feel-good atmosphere both in the building and in the inner courtyard. The hosts are very friendly and care about the well-being of the guests. We keep our fingers crossed that all upcoming activities are well received will be found and the castle will be able to take new paths at some point. Thanks also for the interesting tour!

Was there on the day of the open monument and I have to say, I really liked it! The new owners' concept sounds very promising. I'm sure it's in good hands now!

Super nice place. Is still being renovated, but the gastronomy is open and the staff is super friendly. Here you can linger and let your soul dangle on a hike or bike tour to strengthen yourself. Recommended. ??

Walls of Constantinople

The Walls of Constantinople are a series of defensive stone walls that have surrounded and protected the city of Constantinople (today Istanbul) since its founding as the new capital of the Roman Empire by Constantine the Great. With numerous additions and modifications during their history, they were the last great fortification system of antiquity, and one of the most complex and elaborate systems ever built. They were also the largest and strongest fortification in both the ancient and medieval world.

Initially built by Constantine the Great, the walls surrounded the new city on all sides, protecting it against attack from both sea and land. As the city grew, the famous double line of the Theodosian Walls was built in the 5th century. Although the other sections of the walls were less elaborate, they were, when well-manned, almost impregnable for any medieval besieger.
