Very nice and pleasant church. Can highly recommend a visit here. I'm not religious, but the church is still worth seeing

A very beautiful 17th century church with some original paintings left. We were lucky enough to get in and see.

Cool church that gave some viking vibes. Very special location in the middle of a residential area. But well worth a visit if you have the roads past Laxå.

Duino Castle

Duino Castle was built by the Wallsee family in 1389 on the cliffs overlooking the Gulf of Trieste. It replaced an older castle from the 11th century. Over time, the Wallsee family disappeared and the castle, after having been used as a prison, became the residence of the Luogar and Hofer.

At the end of the 19th century it became the property of Prince Alexander von Thurn und Taxis from the Czech branch of the House of Thurn and Taxis. It remains with the family to this day with his great-grandson Prince Carlo Alessandro della Torre e Tasso, Duke of Castel Duino the current owner. The castle has been opened to the public as a museum and park.
