Beautiful place

Fantastic and atmospheric state in a beautiful location. Worth a visit. Support Staten and Stinzen.

A beautiful piece of history with a beautiful forest. The area is ideal for beautiful walks. The kruidhof in Buitenpost is also worth a visit.

Prachtige buitenplaats en schitterend authentiek ingerichte vertrekken. Je waant je echt terug in de tijd. Heel bijzonder.

Weinig mensen ontmoet hier in de tuin. Of het is onbekend of de 1€ entree houdt mensen tegen. De architect heeft er wat moois van gemaakt. Het ontwerp is nog steeds na jaren te herkennen. Bijzondere elementen: een berg, hertenkamp, waterpartij en kruisbrug. Een uurtje of 2 kun je zo in de tuin doorbrengen.

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.
