What a beautiful garden and beautiful castle, we had never been here. Nice friendly welcome and coffee with apple pie included in the entrance fee. Fantastic organization with an eye for detail. Also got an explanation about the garden and castle by a very friendly hostess. We will definitely come again next year, thank you for the wonderful day.

Great wedding location located in a beautiful garden. You can get married both inside and outside and nothing is too much for the staff!

Open to visitors twice a year. Beautiful, well-maintained garden. Many volunteers work on this all year round.

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.
