It's cute. The Christmas market provided a nice atmosphere, and it was a nice experience.

We had our wedding on September 9th, 2023 at Schloss Wildberg and can only recommend this as a wedding location!! A fantastic ambience! We were able to start decorating and setting up from Thursday morning, so we didn't have that much stress just before the wedding, and we're very grateful for that! We also received all kinds of support on site and everything was implemented according to our wishes. We would always want to get married there again, it was really beautiful!

We decided to have our wedding at Wildberg Castle a year ago and the big day was a week ago. It was the best decision! Not only is the location itself a dream, but the collaboration with Gerhard Koller was also flawless. Here you can still speak of “One man, one word”. Our guests were also thrilled because even the wedding ceremony could take place in the castle.

Sé Catedral (Cathedral of Lisbon)

The Cathedral of Saint Mary Major, often called Lisbon Cathedral or simply the Sé, is a Roman Catholic cathedral located in Lisbon, Portugal. The oldest church in the city, it is the seat of the Patriarchate of Lisbon. The cathedral has survived many earthquakes and has been modified, renovated and restored several times. It is nowadays a mix of different architectural styles. 

The site where it stands was the principal mosque of Lisbon when it was an Arab settlement. The construction of the cathedral started around 1150, three years after the city was conquered from the Moors during the Second Crusade. Shortly after the victory the English knight Gilbert of Hastings was named bishop of the city of Lisbon.

One good reason to visit the Cathedral is to visit its charming cloisters located in the back. There are several tombs in the cathedral, the most notable of which is the beautifully sculpted tomb of Lopo Fernandes Pacheco and his wife.
