It's cute. The Christmas market provided a nice atmosphere, and it was a nice experience.

We had our wedding on September 9th, 2023 at Schloss Wildberg and can only recommend this as a wedding location!! A fantastic ambience! We were able to start decorating and setting up from Thursday morning, so we didn't have that much stress just before the wedding, and we're very grateful for that! We also received all kinds of support on site and everything was implemented according to our wishes. We would always want to get married there again, it was really beautiful!

We decided to have our wedding at Wildberg Castle a year ago and the big day was a week ago. It was the best decision! Not only is the location itself a dream, but the collaboration with Gerhard Koller was also flawless. Here you can still speak of “One man, one word”. Our guests were also thrilled because even the wedding ceremony could take place in the castle.

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.
