The castle is very modernly equipped, but unfortunately the restaurant can only be visited with a seminar. Service was very friendly, drinks and food came to the table quickly. Plus it tasted very good.

Beautiful, well-kept and, above all, large rooms. Really beautiful castle with a perfect view. It's practical that the landlord is nearby. A great hotel❤

We were able to celebrate our wedding at Schloss Weinberg and can recommend it without reservation. Our contact person Laura looked after us wonderfully and read our wishes straight from our eyes. The organization was perfect and you can tell that there is a certain routine involved. Nevertheless, every one of our wishes was taken into account. By booking the location, accommodation and catering together, the preparation time becomes incredibly efficient and stress-free. The wedding menu was, there is no other way to put it, divine. Our photographer was very happy about the fantastic scenery and after a long day we all fell into extremely comfortable hotel beds. The next day we were able to review the wedding again over a very generous breakfast together. Thank you, Laura & Team, for making the day so unforgettable for us. We will recommend you as often as we can.

The owner not having assumed his promise to provide us with a plug to charge our electric vehicle, the receptionist tried in vain to solve our problem by contacting him again, and again, to have his approval. The result was a one hour long trip back to Belgium, not to mention the hour we lost not enjoying the wedding reception we were there for. The anti-professionalism of the manager leads me to recommend to avoid this place or at least not ask for anything. A simple no beforehand would have solved the problem.

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.
