Beautiful castle, very well maintained, at least from what I could see from the outside.

We were invited to a private party here and were very impressed by the ambience and hospitality. It is surprising that parts of the property are available to the public and guided tours are also offered. We'll catch up!

An incredible place with a magical atmosphere❣️ You can see that the gardener cares for the garden with great love! We happened to drive past this castle, it was getting dark and it felt a bit strange to enter, like we were invading privacy, but the place was so tempting that we went in and walked for a bit. Nobody noticed us or made a comment. I would like to discover such special, magical places more often. Thank you very much?

A family that lives in the castle wants to prevent over 120 urgently needed apartments from being built? One would think we still live in the aristocracy, where some people are more important than others. Until it is certain that the castle will be destroyed by the planned project (there are recognized, independent reports for the destruction), this should be examined with an open mind. This is not how good cooperation works if apartments, wind farms, etc. are urgently needed everywhere, but no one wants to have it on site. A pity...

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.
