Penteskoufi alias Lo castello de Malvicino presso a Coranto Korinthia 2018
hasselbladx1d #xcd120mm macro f/4 Iso 100 Besides, this particular castle has always been the bad neighbor (=mal vicino) for the neighboring Acrocorinth in conditions of siege…
From my project "Chateaux Forts de Grece".
In 2006 the fortresses were exhibited at the Byzantine Museum, ''Byzantines Fortress in Greece'' then, in 2007 the French Embassy in Athens undertook major exhibitions on the ''Fortresses of Greece''-''Chateaux forts de Grece'' in Rhodes, Kalamata, Patras, Athens, Nafplio. The malvicino soit mauvais oeil, was built by the Flemish knight Jacques d'Avesnes in 1204 at the beginning of the great siege of Acrocorinth by the Franks (1204-1209) (mainly Lombards), by the King of Thessaloniki Boniface de Montferrat, leading figure of the Frankish conquest.

Taufers Castle or Castello di Tures is a beautiful medieval castle in South Tyrol, Italy. The castle is so attractive and picturesque that several directors chose it as a setting for their films like Roman Polanski who shot The Fearless Vampire Killers here. It was built in the 13th century and belonged to the von Taufers family. Originally a wall built on a high cliff protected inner strictures like a tall watch-tower, a residential house and other auxiliary houses. It was a Romanesque ensemble, which transformed into a well-protected Gothic compound after it was acquired by the von Fieger family in the 15th century. At that time the castle was reinforced with towers, tower gates and drawbridges which are still there today. The castle has 64 rooms out of which about two dozen can be visited on a guided tour. Starting from the 17th century the Taufers Castle was gradually deteriorating for some 300 years. Photo by @mario___dangelo 😍🙏🏻❤️

Cool

From Longtown the route takes you through a single track road to Hay-on-Wye and another Castle. This one is complete with medieval scaffolding and looks like it’s been that way for a year or two.

Gravensteen Castle, located in Ghent, Belgium, is a striking medieval fortress that stands as a testament to the region's rich history. Constructed in the late 12th century by Count Philip of Alsace, it was designed to assert his dominance and provide a strategic defense against invaders. The name "Gravensteen" translates to "Castle of the Counts," reflecting its role as the residence of the Counts of Flanders. The castle's imposing stone walls, fortified towers, and deep moat exemplify medieval military architecture, offering a vivid glimpse into the past.
Over the centuries, Gravensteen has served various purposes beyond its original defensive role. It has been a royal residence, a court, and even a prison, each phase adding layers to its storied past. In the 19th century, the castle faced potential demolition but was saved and later restored, allowing it to become a significant historical site. Today, it functions as a museum, inviting visitors to explore its dungeons, armory, and ancient halls. Exhibits and guided tours provide insights into medieval life and the castle's evolution. Gravensteen Castle remains an iconic symbol of Ghent, blending historical intrigue with architectural splendor, making it a must-visit destination for history enthusiasts and tourists alike.

Θα ξεκινήσω αυτήν την μικρή ιστορική περιήγηση με τον εξαίρετο Κώστα Ουράνη...''Το κάστρο του Αβαρίνου: Σ’ ένα άγριο κορφοβούνι, κατάντικρυ στη Σφακτηρία, απ’ την οποία μόλις το χωρίζει μια στενή λουρίδα από άβαθα νερά, υψώνεται ένα κάστρο εφτά αιώνων. Δεσπόζει πάνω από τον όρμο του Ναυαρίνου κι απ’ την απέραντη φωτεινή θάλασσα, σα μια σιωπηλή και ακίνητη βίγλα των οριζόντων. Είναι το κάστρο του Αβαρίνου. Χτισμένο το 1278 από τον μπάϊλο του Μορέως Νικολό ντε Σαιντ-Ομέρ, στάθηκε για αιώνες ένα κάστρο που γνώρισε μια πολυτάραχη ζωή και τις πιο ενάντιες τύχες. Φράγκοι και Ναβαρροί τυχοδιώκτες, Βενετσάνοι και Τούρκοι, το διεκδικήσανε με την ίδια λύσσα. Άλλα φράγκικα κάστρα είδαν κ’ ευτυχισμένες μέρες γαλήνης. Άκουσαν τραγούδια τροβαδούρων και είδαν έρωτες που άνθισαν, μεσ’ από τα δυνατά τους αγκωνάρια, σαν αγριολούλουδα ανάμεσα σε βράχους. Το κάστρο του Αβαρίνου δεν γνώρισε παρά μόνο την αγωνία εχθρικών πανιών στο θαλάσσιον ορίζοντα και τις άγριες κραυγές του πολέμου. Σήμερα, ερειπώνεται κάτω από το γλαυκό φωτεινόν ουρανό πέτρα με πέτρα, τόσο αδιάφορο για τα καράβια που περνάνε μακρυά, όσο αδιάφορα το βλέπουν και οι ταξιδιώτες να διαγράφει πάνω στο κορφοβούνι του τους ψηλούς ξεκοιλιασμένους πύργους του. Σπάνιοι είναι εκείνοι που κουράζονται ν’ ανέβουν να το επισκεφθούν». Πηγή: Κώστας Ουράνης, Ταξίδια - Ελλάδα, Εκδόσεις «Εστία», (ενότητα «Το κάστρο του Αβαρίνου»), Αθήνα 1949. Paleonavarino castle alias StOmer castle,alias Gialovas castle... #pylosnavarino From my project ''Chateaux Forts de Grece''. In 2006 the fortresses were exhibited at the Byzantine Museum, '' Byzantines Fortress in Greece'' then, in 2007 the French Embassy in Athens undertook major exhibitions on the ''Fortresses of Greece''-''Chateaux forts de Grece'' in Rhodes, Kalamata, Patras, Athens, Nafplio. Ενα απο τα πιο ενδιαφέροντα καστρα της Ελλάδας. Ο μεσαίωνας και η φραγκοκρατία σε όλο το μεγαλείο. Yψώνεται στην κορυφή του λόφου της χερσονήσου του Κορυφασίου, στη βόρεια είσοδο του Κόλπου του Ναβαρίνου ή Κόλπου της Πύλου έχοντας, σύμφωνα με τον λογοτέχνη Κώστα Ουράνη, «μια θέα εξαίσιας γαλήνης και φωτεινής απεραντωσύνης» Και λίγη (δύσκολη μεσαιωνική ιστορία λόγω ευρείας διαπλοκής...) Η ίδρυση του κάστρου στην κορυφή της άκρας αυτής αποδίδεται στον Νικόλαο Β΄ του Σαιντ-Ομέρ, κατά το 1278.Σύμφωνα με το Χρονικόν του Μορέως, ο Νικόλαος Β΄ Σαιντ-Ομέρ, ο αποκαλούμενος από τον τότε ελληνικό πληθυσμό επίσης ως «Σανταμέρης» και «γερονικόλας», αυθέντης και βαρώνος των Θηβών, όταν ανέλαβε τη διοίκηση του φράγκικου πριγκιπάτου της Αχαΐας (Μοριά) έκτισε το φρούριο για τον διάδοχο και εγγονό του (και σε άλλες πηγές ανιψιό του) Νικόλαο Γ΄ Σαιντ-Ομέρ, τον μετέπειτα και βάιλο του Μοριά, κατά τη διάρκεια της φραγκοκρατίας και του Πριγκιπάτου της Αχαΐας. Ο Νικόλαος Β΄ Σαιντ-Ομέρ έχτισε επίσης και άλλα κάστρα, όπως π.χ. το Κάστρο των Σαιντ-Ομέρ που τμήμα του διασώζεται ακόμα και σήμερα στη Θήβα, προκειμένου να προστατέψει την περιουσία της δεύτερης γυναίκας του, της χήρας του Γουλιέλμου Β΄ Βιλλεαρδουίνου, πριγκίπισσας Άννας Αγγελίνας Κομνηνής, Αγνής για τους Φράγκους, κόρης του Έλληνα δεσπότη της Ηπείρου και του Δεσποτάτου της Ηπείρου Μιχαήλ Β΄ Κομνηνού Δούκα...
