Sterrenberg Castle

Kamp-Bornhofen, Germany

By 1034, Sterrenberg was being mentioned as an imperial castle, but the source is not certain. In 1190, Sterrenberg Castle is listed in the book of Werner von Bolanden as a fief, together with the custom point in Bornhofen. The noble family of Bolanden stayed as lords of Sterrenberg Castle until the second half of the 13th century. From this early period, the bergfried and the first, inner shield wall have survived.

Kasteel stelt weinig voor! Maar je kan op het gemak rondwandelen!

We were very lucky that we got married there a few days ago ... Absolutely gorgeous and great, super nice operator. The location is priceless. Food, service, the rooms, everything. A wedding couldn't be celebrated more beautifully. Many thanks to the operators. We'll see each other often

The restaurant was unfortunately closed, but a tour of the castle complex with explanatory texts and the great view was fully worth it. You could drive directly to the castle so that we had a nice end to the day.

Very well renovated and with a lot of effort. Small snacks in several variants can be consumed outside in compliance with the Corona rules. The view of the Rhine Valley is very beautiful. The tower is unfortunately closed. For a short trip I can recommend the facility.

Simply great. We'll be back (there is also a time after Corona). All the best...

Late Baroque Town of Ragusa

The eight towns in south-eastern Sicily, including Ragusa, were all rebuilt after 1693 on or beside towns existing at the time of the earthquake which took place in that year. They represent a considerable collective undertaking, successfully carried out at a high level of architectural and artistic achievement. Keeping within the late Baroque style of the day, they also depict distinctive innovations in town planning and urban building. Together with seven other cities in the Val di Noto, it is part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

In 1693 Ragusa was devastated by a huge earthquake, which killed some 5,000 inhabitants. Following this catastrophe the city was largely rebuilt, and many Baroque buildings from this time remain in the city. Most of the population moved to a new settlement in the former district of Patro, calling this new municipality 'Ragusa Superiore' (Upper Ragusa) and the ancient city 'Ragusa Inferiore' (Lower Ragusa). The two cities remained separated until 1926, when they were fused together to become a provincial capital in 1927.
