The accommodation was great & the landlords were really very friendly and tried very hard! In addition, the accommodation is dog-friendly, so not only we, but also our dog had a great time :) Thank you for the great stay! We'd love to come back :) Greetings Alina & Aaron with dog Hilda

Romantic ambience, pretty surroundings. You can go for walks directly from the palace complex — ideal for dog owners. Count and Countess Waldburg are very friendly and hard-working. In the immediate vicinity is a very well-run village shop with everything you need, and the wonderful Gasthof Krone Schenke with very good service and the finest food! Recommended!

We spent a few wonderful, very relaxing days in the castle cottage. Great ambience, a moated castle to fall in love with. Quiet environment very nice for hiking. A great village shop, butcher and village tavern where you can eat very well in the immediate vicinity. Very nice hosts. Our dogs also felt very comfortable. Thank you very much we would love to come back

Citadelle of Quebec

The Citadelle of Quebec is an active military installation and official residence of both the Canadian monarch and the Governor General of Canada. It is located atop Cap Diamant, adjoining the Plains of Abraham in Quebec City. The citadel is the oldest military building in Canada, and forms part of the fortifications of Quebec City, which is one of only two cities in North America still surrounded by fortifications, the other being Campeche, Mexico.

The first fortifications in Quebec were built by the Governor General of New France Louis de Buade, and completed just in time for the Battle of Quebec in 1690.

After the British conquest in the second half of the 18th century, the problem of Quebec City's defences grew more acute.
