Zámek v Novém Městě nad Metují is a castle in Nové Město nad Metují (roughly translated as New Town on the Metuja river), Czech Republic. It was built in the 16th century and has gone through many renevations. The most notable one was executed according to the plans of Dušan Jurkovič in 1909-1913 for the new owners. He also designed the original castle garden with a wooden covered bridge. In the 1920s and 1930s, some rooms were furnished in Art Deco and Functionalist styles under the supervision of architect Pavel Janák.

more kastle thoughts -> THESE PEOPLE ARE INSANE

frank literally shot a gun at her and karen’s only response to this after meeting him was “but maybe he had a good reason 🥺”

karen says she used to hide in a closet as a child, wanting to be far away from her home, and frank stares at her like she put the stars in the sky

like imagine meeting someone at your very worst, when you’re essentially an animal, someone who SEES YOU and WANTS TO KNOW YOU so much that you have no choice but to respond to it. imagine your soul being awakened like that. and the only reason you met that person is because your family was slaughtered in front of you.

every time karen yells at frank actually he just looks at her like “I guess I’ll just get on my knees now???? would that please you ma’am????”

Elvas Castle situated in Elvas, Portugal, was first built during the Moorish period of rule and occupation of the area between the 8th and 12th centuries. The castle was fought over repeatedly between Moors and Christians and changed hands several times. Afonso Henriques took the castle around 1166 but it was subsequently retaken, then lost, then retaken again. Elvas Castle was eventually abandoned by the Moors in 1230 when their base in Mérida (Spain) was under threat.

Elvas Castle was also besieged in the 14th century, this time by the armies of Castile. As a result of these attacks from the across the border with Spain, Elvas was reinforced with a taller keep and artillery positions in the 15th century. King Manuel I further strengthened the castle during his reign in the early 16th century adding towers to the walls.

In the 16th century Elvas Castle became part of the ever more sophisticated walls and fortifications of Elvas built to withstand attack from neighboring Spain. Elvas Castle resisted many attempts to take it but was eventually stormed after an attack by the French in 1807 during the Peninsular War (1807-1814). However, a year later the castle was back in the combined hands of the British and Portuguese armies opposing Napoleon's forces.

The Wawel Royal Castle and the Wawel Hill on which it sits constitute the most historically and culturally significant site in Poland. A fortified residency on the Vistula River in Kraków, it was established on the orders of King Casimir III the Great and enlarged over the centuries into a number of structures around an Italian-styled courtyard. It represents nearly all European architectural styles of the Medieval, Renaissance and Baroque periods.
