Nice place

I loved it

Interesting

An interesting place where you are being hunted by a local battle that is trying to rob you of money because it is a state-protected monument, which is not really so in appearance.

The ruins of the palace, the guide told everything and showed all the rooms, the bathhouse, the library, the kitchen, the bedrooms where they were located ... In general, whoever loves history will like it.

Belongs to it. Imagine Princess Salme more than 100 years ago
