ČERVENÁ LHOTA
Rozprávkový zámok Červená Lhota je malebne zasadený na skalnatom ostrove uprostred rybníka, obklopený vodnou hladinou a zeleňou parku. Charakteristická červená fasáda a šindľová strecha zámku krásne kontrastujú s odrazom vo vode, zatiaľ čo kamenný most vedúci k hlavnému vchodu a starostlivo upravená zámocká záhrada dotvárajú romantickú atmosféru tejto známej pamiatky z južných Čiech.

The Castle of Bannes, situated near the new town of Beaumontois-en-Périgord in the Dordogne, is a magnificent medieval fortress dating back to the 12th century. Perched atop a hill, it dominates the surrounding countryside with its commanding towers and crenelated walls. Initially built as a defensive stronghold, it played a crucial role during the turbulent times of the Hundred Years’ War and later the Wars of Religion. Over the centuries, it was expanded, blending Gothic and Renaissance architectural styles.

The castle remained a symbol of power for local nobility until the French Revolution, after which it fell into partial disrepair. In the 19th century, restoration efforts revived its grandeur, preserving its historical significance. Today, the privately owned castle retains its medieval charm, surrounded by breathtaking views of the Périgord landscape. It is a treasured landmark, representing the region’s rich heritage and feudal past. Though not open to the public, it continues to inspire awe with its picturesque silhouette and fascinating history.

🏰 Löwenburg Castle, Germany
Set in the scenery of the Bergpark above Wilhelmshöhe Palace, the castle of Löwenburg, built between 1793 and 1801, was among the earliest mock-medieval »ruins« of Continental Europe. Landgrave Wilhelm IX (r. 1785–1821, later Elector Wilhelm I) commissioned his court architect, Heinrich Christoph Jussow (1754–1825), to create the building. The castle was intended to serve two purposes: on the one hand it provided the Landgrave with a maison de plaisance, on the other it was designed to represent the historical status of the House of Hesse, which had been in power since the Middle Ages.

Although the structure resembles a semi-ruined knight’s castle from the outside, its interior conforms to the characteristic layout of a Baroque country palace. It also includes, besides the princely apartments, an armoury and a Neo-Gothic chapel. The castle’s patron found his final resting place in the crypt beneath the chapel.

The castle’s artfully ruinous appearance became a sad fact when the keep and other parts of the structure were destroyed during WWII. Construction work is underway to restore the keep, reinforce the existing structure, and re-furnish the rooms with their original furniture and fittings. Once the work is complete, visitors will be able to experience Löwenburg as it looked in the time of Elector Wilhelm I.
