Loved seeing the landscape as you approached the castle Martina. If you were on foot and working your way through the willowy leafless trees and the thickets of undergrowth, you could be forgiven for thinking you were in a bewitched forest and about to meet The Beast. But I can't see any red roses and a Beast's castle must be covered with climbing red roses ~ Or do I have my fairy tales all mixed up?

It's wonderful that a place like this had been restored and then not destroyed. And so wonderfully cared for now. Must have been quite a lifestyle shift for the Sternberg family. The motto is so poetic and powerful: The star that never falls down. Perhaps it has protected the castle.

Your presentation and photographs are as beautifully ordered and aesthetically pleasing as the castle itself. I've enjoyed looking at them all so much as I'm not likely to have the opportunity to go to Prague. I especially liked seeing the library and then the family tree. Such a lovely concept ~ Could be contemporary. ♥︎♥︎⚖️♥︎♥︎
