Quite interesting with large paintings and a somewhat different decor.

Beautiful but not the nicest we have seen

Et anderledes view i Køge Kirke, alias Sct. Nikolai Kirke. Kirken er som andre kirker bygget i flere tempi. Den ældste del af kirketårnet er fra ca 1324. Om sommeren er det muligt at besøge kirketårnet og f.eks opleve hvælvingene og på samme tid forestille sig det enorme og smukke kirkerum, som befinder sig lige under én. Der er en storslået udsigt fra kirketårnet over Køge. God fornøjelse!

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.
