Residences steeped in historyTime travel to kings, knights and lords of the castle

The centuries leave their mark. This is particularly evident in some castles and fortresses that have survived wars, destruction and plundering. Remains of castle walls from the early Middle Ages bear witness to their former greatness. Furnishings that can only be viewed today reflect the wealth and splendour of earlier times. A queen resided in one luxurious building, elsewhere an important lord of the castle fought a feud with his neighbour. A monastery became a castle. Old conflicts came to an end through family reunions. Marriages brought riches and made a new beginning possible. If you want to go on an entertaining journey through time, these residences steeped in history are just the place for you.
