My second visit to the historical estate. The cuisine is worth travelling for (1 1/2 hours in my case). Cozy dining rooms offering nostalgic ambience. Excellent.

Very nice place, but if the owner is behind the counter, run away. Very slow, and rude in addition. No sense of service and respect.

Really nice castle my girlfriends sister took us to to have lunch. Nice personnel, nice atmosphere upstairs, with a fireplace, and great food, especially the Fika! I loved the chocolate cake (one of the best) and the lemon pie was great too. And my toast with cantharels was nice too (a bit hard to find the truffel, but didn’t miss it). The entrance is uphill, so maybe a bit hard for elderly people!

Such a classic setting and dogs are welcome. I absolutely loved it.

Weird vibes within the working environment there, something not right. Crazy prices and the coffee is from a machine where you press a button.... Super nice environment though especially in summer

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.
