Andrássy Palace, Tiszadob, Hungary

Hungarian aristocratic family, Andrassy, has been known for its lavish lifestyle. The Andrassy Palace was built in the second half of the 19th century. With multiple towers, and neo-gothic, romantic style, it resembles the French castles in the valley of the Loire. Behind the building, a well-kept English park pleases the eye, hosting concerts during the first half of August annually. The musical series are named Piano Celebration in the East. The castle itself now serves as a children's home.

During our visit, the interior of the castle was under renovation but you can still visit the exterior of the castle with the beautiful garden.

Andrássy Castle is located in the north-eastern part of Hungary, in Tiszadob. The park and the castle were built by count Gyula Andrassy (1823-1890). Visitors can walk in the park but the castle is temporarily closed due to the interior renovation. Great place for creating nice photos :-) Castlepark opening hours: (Closed on Mondays) Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 to 16:00

Gamla Uppsala Church

The stone church of Gamla Uppsala, built over the pagan temple, dates from the early 12th century. Due to fire and renovations, the present church is only a remnant of the original cathedral.

Before the arrival of Christianity in Sweden, Gamla Uppsala was the seat of Swedish kings and a ceremonial site known all over northern Europe. The settlement was home to royal palaces, a royal burial ground, and a great pagan temple. The Uppsala temple, which was described in detail by Adam of Bremen in the 1070s, housed wooden statues of the Norse gods Odin, Thor and Freyr. A golden chain hung across its gables and the inside was richly decorated with gold. The temple had priests, who sacrificed to the gods according to the needs of the people.

The first Christian cathedral was probably built in the 11th century, but finished in the 12th century. The stone building may have been preceded by a wooden church and probably by the large pagan temple.
