It is very beautiful but is room for improvement.

Visited in the rain. Sublime ambiance. Is it possible to feel the past through architecture and nature? A wall with a plaque dedicated to Lord Kitchener pointed to the possibility of such a thing. Perhaps the brick heart shaped motives in the structures indicated a certain passion in the design. What untold stories are lost to time? A new installation of printed histories and photographs of people connected to the chateau tell unique and wonderful stories of the importance of the chateau and the joy that it brings.

Lovely old chateau with magnificent gardens in centre of village. Chateau only open on Sunday is €10 each, garden open 12.00-6.00pm, €5 each & we worth it. The moated chateau is surrounded by an amazingly well restored formal garden with natural flower beds & shrubs. The history is interesting & it is a haven of peace.

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.
