Castles, villas and historic buildings in Europe

Europe is rich in historic buildings and landscapes that have decisively shaped and molded European cultural history. Influential personalities were born here, major decisions were made, developments were steered and unique testimonies to economic success were created. After decades and centuries, many of these witnesses are still standing, have survived wars and political aberrations, or are already gleaming in new splendor.
