Witnesses of time: the fascination of castle hotels

We know them from driving past, from visiting museums and from television: Noble residences in the form of castles and fortresses perched high on hills, nestle as manor houses on lakes and bays and shine in various series in which aristocrats indulge in the pleasurable life. Regardless of where they are located and what their condition and ownership is like, the old buildings exude a great deal of fascination, as one can assume that they have already experienced all kinds of things and hosted many a glittering party or important political event under their roof.
