Private castle with most parts private. Still pretty.

Castle not open to the public, but the car museum is definitely worth stopping your journey to go see. Petrolheads who have not been yet need to visit, everyone will learn things they didn't know before - the size of some of these beasties has to be experienced live. You will see that electric cars/carriages are not a recent invention, the steam cars that were created after the fuel shortages of WW1, the origins of Audi, and some the model collection - including the aircraft that adorn the ceiling in the museum are worth an exhibition on their own.

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.
