The. Castle and the view is beautiful, the castle park is very small, we didn't dare to look inside because there are many companies in it, but the walk to the castle was nice.

Charming chateau, beautiful bright rooms. Various business premises eg. Hairdresser, beauty room, costume tailor, artist, antiques...etc. The BnB is worth an overnight stay. The view is so beautiful and wide. Just great. Yesterday and today there were still market stands, yodelling with fine sausages, yodelling, castle coffee shop, balloon artists and various attractions. Just great. Absolutely again. Thank you for these beautiful moments.

+Nice castle with a nice courtyard and beautiful surroundings! +Free parking directly at the entrance +Friendly people +Lift, toilets, self-service drinks/coffee corner Was there for a course, Perfect experience! - Google Maps does not understand the end of the journey. Leads to a dead end and then wants you to hop over the creek and climb up the castle wall! ? Finally, follow the signs to SchlafSchloss ?

We had 2 great nights at the castle. The Buffet breakfast was copious.

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.
