🏰 Albrechtsberg Palace in Dresden was built in 1851 for Prince Albrecht of Prussia, a brother of the later Emperor Wilhelm I.

💔 Albrecht was forced to go into exile (Saxony was considered a "foreign country" from the Prussian perspective at the time) because he was divorced and had remarried to a second wife from the lower nobility. This was a real scandal in the House of Hohenzollern and in Berlin, which was extremely strict at the time. 🍀 For Saxony, which was traditionally much more liberal when it came to matters relating to the love life of the nobility, this was - from today's perspective - a stroke of luck: thanks to Albrecht, Dresden got two palaces that would actually be better suited to Potsdam or Berlin. 🎨 The architect was Adolph Lohse, an important student of Karl Friedrich Schinkel. The typically Prussian, late-classical forms still seem exotic today in Dresden's architectural landscape, which is actually shaped by other traditions. ❤️ Albrecht could not have chosen a more suitable building site; it seemed to be made for unconventional, romantic love affairs. 🌈 Before the castle was built, the Scotsman James Ogilvy, 7th Earl of Findlater (Findlater's Vineyard), lived here in a palace. Lord Findlater, who loved men, had to leave Scotland for this reason. Like Albrecht later, he had a happy partnership here with his partner Johann Georg Christian Fischer.

🏰 Waterkasteel Hof van Veltwijck
🇧🇪 Belgium

The Hof van Veltwijck is a castle in the Ekeren location located to the municipality of Antwerp, located at Veltwijcklaan 27.
The building date of the castle is not known, but in 1548 no report was made of a castle, and in 1564 there was already a Speelhuys, Opperhof, and Nederhof. It is assumed that the construction took place on behalf of the then resident, Aert van Veltwijck.

The castle was uninhabited during the siege of Antwerp (1584-1585) and fell into disrepair. Military inundations took place in the years that also caused damage to the castle. In 1638 the domain was purchased by Geeraert Fyens and it had the castle secure against the water, but only when the Ekerse d**e was constructed in 1649-1650 did the flooding risk.

In 1754 the domain was purchased by the Antwerp merchant Cornelis de Winter. Around 1905 the castle, commissioned by Baroness de Borrekens, was raised with a floor. In 1929 it came to the municipality and in 1930 it was put into use as a town hall. Part of the park was parceled out and the rest was open to the public.

De Haar Castle, located near Utrecht in the Netherlands, is a magnificent example of restored medieval architecture juxtaposed with luxurious 19th-century interiors. Originally built in the 14th century, the castle underwent extensive renovations in the late 19th and early 20th centuries by architect Pierre Cuypers, known for his work on the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. Cuypers envisioned De Haar as a grandiose revival of its medieval glory, incorporating Gothic and Renaissance elements into its design.

Surrounded by immaculate gardens and a moat, De Haar Castle is striking from every angle. Its interior is equally impressive, boasting opulent rooms filled with ornate furniture, tapestries, and artworks collected by the Rothschild family, who inhabited the castle during its reconstruction. Visitors can explore the castle's Great Hall, adorned with coats of arms and a massive fireplace, or marvel at the intricate detailing of the bedrooms and dining areas.

Today, De Haar Castle stands as a testament to architectural vision and historical preservation. It offers guided tours that delve into its rich history, from its medieval origins through its modern revitalization. The castle's picturesque setting, combined with its cultural significance, makes it a popular destination for tourists and history enthusiasts alike, providing a glimpse into both medieval life and 19th-century aristocratic living in Europe.

The first castle was built here in the 10th century. It was made of wood. The present-day castle has been owned by the same Menthon family since late 12th century. Most of the buildings in the castle were constructed in 13-19th centuries. On the whole it underwent two major reconstructions: in the Renaissance period when it was made into a cozy palace and in the early 19th century when it was remodeled to meet the neogothic trending standards. Legend has it that Walt Disney was inspired by this chateau (and not Neuschwanstein) when designing his Sleeping Beauty castle. The 23rd generation of the same family lives in the castle but they keep their residence open to tourists.

Château d’Étoges, originally a medieval fortress, transformed into a charming 17th-century residence known for its elegance. Once a fiefdom of the d'Anglure family, it hosted François I, Louis XIII, and Louis XIV. Built on a hillside with multiple springs, it initially served strategic and practical purposes, feeding a potable water network and moats. The d'Anglure family held it for four centuries.

In the 17th century, the fortress was modified to accommodate royalty, with Louis XIV noting its advanced water features. Following the Revolution, the château changed hands multiple times and was downsized. In 1922, Robert Neuville restored it, and in 1991, his granddaughter Anne Filliette opened it to the public as a hotel. Today, Château d’Étoges continues to evolve, welcoming visitors to its historic yet dynamic setting.

From its "remarkable gardens" to its elegant Renaissance style, let's discover together this delightful residence bordering the Bruant river! 😍

The castle as we see it today has undergone many transformations throughout its long and rich history. Jehan II de Latour built two residential wings around 1475. Soon, a beautiful Renaissance-style residence emerged, surrounded by sumptuous French gardens, envisioned by Jean-Louis de Courbon in the first half of the 17th century.

But by the 18th century, the gardens were somewhat neglected. In 1817, the estate was sold at auction. In 1920, a certain Paul Chénereau responded to a call from the writer Pierre Loti published in Le Figaro, and began significant restorations of the castle. The gardens regained their splendor between 1928 and 1939, while the castle was gradually refurnished! A "sound and light" show was even conceived in the 1960s. However, as the entire site was built on marshland, the gardens sink a little more every year... The solution? From 1976 to 2000, no less than 3000 piles were driven to support the gardens.

🏰 𝐋𝐀 𝐁𝐑𝐄𝐃𝐄 (Gironde): Mostly known as the birthplace (1689) and residence of the famous writer and philosopher Montesquieu, this historical site offers a window into the architectural and cultural evolution of the region, while celebrating the legacy of one of the most influential figures of the Enlightenment.

It stands as a classic example of Gothic architecture, surrounded by moats and built from the 14th century onwards.

The writer Montesquieu wrote much of his work here, including "The Spirit of the Laws." The estate was classified as a historical monument in 2008.

Historical Evolution:
The first mention of the site dates back to the 11th century, with significant reconstructions and modifications occurring over the centuries, particularly after the damages of the Hundred Years' War. In the 17th century, the castle became the property of the Secondat family, to which Montesquieu belonged.

Since 2004, the castle has been managed by the private foundation Jacqueline de Chabannes, dedicated to the preservation of Montesquieu's heritage.

Architecture and Facilities:
The castle reflects medieval defensive characteristics with its moats and fortified structure, while incorporating later residential elements. Montesquieu himself made improvements, notably to the exterior, with the addition of a French garden (with parterres and grove) and an English park.

Key Points:

Montesquieu's Gardens: Inspired by his travels and vision, the gardens reflect his taste for aesthetics and functionality, blending French and English styles.
Montesquieu's Library: Although the original books have been transferred to the municipal library of Bordeaux, Montesquieu's chamber and library are preserved, offering insight into his working environment.

Château de La Rochepot, France.

The castle was built in 1180. It belonged to seigneur de Montagu Alexander of Burgundy (1170-1205) (son of Hugh III, Duke of Burgundy). The castle passed by several owners and Joseph Blancheton was the last lord of the castle.
In 1789, during the French Revolution, castle was renamed Château de La Roche Fidèle, declared a national asset, and afterwards was partially destroyed by vandals. Left without the keep, the domain passed from hand to hand.
In 1893, Cécile Carnot (the wife of Sadi Carnot, President of the Republic) purchased the ruins and offered them as a gift to her eldest son, infantry colonel Sadi Carnot (1865-1948), who during 26 years carried out a great and meticulous historical restoration in the spirit of the 15th century.
In 2013, some parts of the castle were acknowledged as regional historical monuments. In 2014, annex buildings, vineyards and the park were given the status of national monument
