Very beautiful building. You wished you could get closer so you could see more. You got a good walk as the castle is privately owned, so no cars are allowed to enter. Once at the castle, you followed the arrows that showed the loop around the castle

Now there is "traffic forbidden" sign 1 km away from the castle (on the road to the farm) and no parking next to it. Since it is unclear where it is actually allowed to walk we could not visit.

Not possible to drive up to the castle due to prohibition signs. Motor vehicles not allowed

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.
