Heritage day, very nice visit. Private and very well maintained castle. I recommend. Interior visit by reservation.

Charging an entry fee of €5 per person, on the weekend of heritage days, is an aberration when we know that the owners benefit from public funds to renovate their homes! These people should be reminded that public funds are not money falling from the sky but rather taxes paid by those who pay them! On top of that, 3 rooms to visit, a tower and a park with only trees, it's really making fun of the world. And the comment on the link with the Ukrainian ambassador was so poor that we felt embarrassed! At least live up to what you ask of visitors.

I love the environment and the ambience at the chateau. The park is incredible and the tour is very informative. I had the pleasure to bump into the owners at my entrance and it was an unforgettable moment to see the love and care they have for this magnificent chateau.

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.
