This castle is about 6 km from
my grandmother's village (Sambron). It was still occupied when she
was a child. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
The castle was built as a fortification |
A small church was included on
the grounds |
|
|
|
|

|
|
The castle was controlled by nobles of different
nations over the course of its existence.
When ownership of the
castle was transferred, the surrounding villages went with it.
Such was the life of the peasants. |
Peasant village in the shadow of the castle |
Original buildings from all over
the country were gathered to contruct a "Skanzen" below
the castle recreating village life |
