Nice little church.

Very interesting story of St Gangolf. Finding the entry to this church is a puzzle which is worth awhile when visiting Trier. You would see the tower of the church from Hauptmarkt but, you would be riddled with the shops and restaurants beside it.

Maybe I have been overwhelmed after visiting the famous cathedral, so my 4 stars may seem bit harsh, but I still think this one is definitely worth visiting. After all, it is located in city center. Germany does love her churches and this one is no exception, and it is well maintained so give her a go and take a few shots with your camera.

Beautifull Building. The garden is quiet and cosy. A perfect place to photograph.

Beckov Castle

The Beckov castle stands on a steep 50 m tall rock in the village Beckov. The dominance of the rock and impression of invincibility it gaves, challenged our ancestors to make use of these assets. The result is a remarkable harmony between the natural setting and architecture.

The castle first mentioned in 1200 was originally owned by the King and later, at the end of the 13th century it fell in hands of Matúš Èák. Its owners alternated - at the end of the 14th century the family of Stibor of Stiborice bought it.

The next owners, the Bánffys who adapted the Gothic castle to the Renaissance residence, improved its fortifications preventing the Turks from conquering it at the end of the 16th century. When Bánffys died out, the castle was owned by several noble families. It fell in decay after fire in 1729.

The history of the castle is the subject of different legends.
