Magical stay with Anja as caring host. The location is nothing less than fairytale like. The rooms were of very high quality and tastefully restored with respect to the old buildings. The area was fantastic with a feeling of serenity. An experience beyond our expectations. We will definitely come back.

Just excellent. I literally have never felt so cared for and well taken care of as I have staying at Kultur Gut Hasselburg. Brigitte and her crew made me feel like a princess, very special. I would go back in a heartbeat and definitely recommend it to anyone who likes beautiful, comfortable, stylish, cultural, upbeat, and charming get-a-ways.

Walls of Constantinople

The Walls of Constantinople are a series of defensive stone walls that have surrounded and protected the city of Constantinople (today Istanbul) since its founding as the new capital of the Roman Empire by Constantine the Great. With numerous additions and modifications during their history, they were the last great fortification system of antiquity, and one of the most complex and elaborate systems ever built. They were also the largest and strongest fortification in both the ancient and medieval world.

Initially built by Constantine the Great, the walls surrounded the new city on all sides, protecting it against attack from both sea and land. As the city grew, the famous double line of the Theodosian Walls was built in the 5th century. Although the other sections of the walls were less elaborate, they were, when well-manned, almost impregnable for any medieval besieger.
