What an amazingly beautiful lock.... ?++++ We only viewed it from the outside and really enjoyed the very beautiful and well-kept gardens...???

The Heringastate, or also the Poptalot, is a relatively small fortress, but the beautiful interior and certainly the very enthusiastic narrating guide made it an unforgettable experience. Daily and hourly guided tours only in July and August. Highly recommended. Thanks again to our guide, we really enjoyed it.

Beautiful castle near the highway. Nice to stop and take a walk. Admire the well-kept castle garden. A gem in the area which is already visible from a distance. It's great that it's so quiet there!

Very nice lock, but unfortunately was not open. The garden made up for everything. What a beautiful old chestnut can be found here

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.
