High on the hill, rocks and bare land around, deep moat and elevated bridge…
…thick walls, lower castle, upper castle, wood-and-iron doors …
In medieval times the physical barriers were the most important elements of security.
Like in this stony castle in Bobolice – now in private hands.

Yes, recently the castles and palaces are being saved mainly by private people. The sad thing about it is that often they are parcially or fully closed for the public.

I always wonder how 500-700 years ago – without all the technology that we possess now – people could build the stony masterpieces on such rocks!
