Six star service can be experienced in this A-located 13th century castle. Alexandra and Arthur welcomed us with great smiles, amazing breakfasts and lots of wood for our private fireplace in the massive yet cosy coach house. Spotlessly clean, well equipped kitchen, good mattresses, amazing surroundings, strong wifi. Kids played all day on the huge terrace and 5 hectare gardens with their well behaved dogs. Great walks near river Waal, great cheese and playground at nearby farm de Pippert, good food in the Dijkhuis. They deliver during lockdown at the castle. Here is the sixth star. We forgot some items, and the owners brought these a week later all the way back to Amsterdam. Rare to experience this degree of hospitality and humanity. We will be back.

Butifull litle kastle. I was there because off a garden fare. It was a perfect surrounding.

Mooie ruime kamers. Rustige plek. Paar parkeerplaatsen aanwezig. Gastvriendelijk ontvangst bij aankomst. Het is wel even zoeken waar je je moet 'melden'. Eventueel ontbijt bij te boeken. Kan ook met pin betalen.

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.
