Hinterglauchau Castle

Glauchau, Germany

Glauchau was founded by a colony of Sorbs and Wends, and belonged to the lords of Schönburg as early as the 12th century. Hinterglauchau Renaissance-style castle was built from 1470 on the site of a castle built by the Lords of Schönburg around 1170 and has been the center of their rule for centuries . With the construction of the parts of the building, later called Castle Fordglauchau, the facility was expanded towards the city from around 1525. At the same time the main castle was rebuilt. In the early 20th century a museum was set up in the castle.

Nice little castle with a nice exhibition, at a reasonable price. However, the castle was very difficult to find as there are no signs indicating the way. But the staff is a no-go! (That's why only one star) At the checkout we were asked by an elderly gentleman if we wanted to take a picture, to which we denied. "You can still pay later," was the answer. ? When we came back from the tour we were greeted with the sentence "Was the photograph at least worth it?" Puzzled, we replied that we actually did not take a single photo of the exhibition, which of course we were not believed. "If you believe it, I was just thinking" Such staff is actually intolerable. One is portrayed as a scrounger or a liar. Does not work at all! On the one hand I find an extra fee for taking pictures anyway bullshit and on the other hand I like to pay it if I want to use it ☝.

Santa Maria in Trastevere

The Basilica of Santa Maria in Trastevere is one of the oldest churches of Rome. The basic floor plan and wall structure of the church date back to the 340s, and much of the structure to 1140-43. The first sanctuary was built in 221 and 227 by Pope Callixtus I and later completed by Pope Julius I. 

The inscription on the episcopal throne states that this is the first church in Rome dedicated to Mary, mother of Jesus, although some claim that privilege belongs to the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore. A Christian house-church was founded here about 220 by Pope Saint Callixtus I (217-222) on the site of the Taberna meritoria, a refuge for retired soldiers. The area was made available for Christian use by Emperor Alexander Severus when he settled a dispute between the Christians and tavern-keepers.

The church underwent two restorations in the fifth and eighth centuries and in 1140-43 it was re-erected on its old foundations under Pope Innocent II.
