Alt var lukket så der var ingen adgang til selve slottet. Man kunne gå en lille tur ved søen og ikke andet. Men flot område.

Skånes största slott till ytan. Fantastisk vy över Oppmannasjön.

Nice but private

nice private castle - you are not allowed to enter or do something else

Sätter enligt kristianstadsbladet upp taggtråd på markerna, i halshöjd på ställen där det cyklats länge. Vem vill ha något att göra med makägare som ämnar att skada cyklister allvarligt? Vidrigt. Varför ska man då besöka om de har en sån attityd? Otroligt vidrigt.

Peace Palace

The Peace Palace (Vredespaleis) is an administrative building and often called the seat of international law because it houses the International Court of Justice (which is the principal judicial body of the United Nations), the Permanent Court of Arbitration, the Hague Academy of International Law, and the extensive Peace Palace Library. In addition to hosting these institutions, the Palace is also a regular venue for special events in international policy and law. The Palace officially opened on 28 August 1913, and was originally built to provide a symbolic home for the Permanent Court of Arbitration, a court created to end war which was created by treaty at the 1899 Hague Peace Conference.
