Description
This is a photo of a room in a very impressive abandoned palace. It’s a massive building which is currently under renovation (exterior and interior).
The original building was built in the 13th century but in the 17th century the palace was expanded and transformed into a residency. It has had many different owners and in the 19th century it was uninhabited for several years. At the very end of this same century a wealthy American bought the palace as a wedding gift for his daughter. They invested a lot of money in repairing the castle and bringing back its former glory. During the 2nd World War the palace was used as an archive facility and was therefor heavily guarded. It didn’t suffer any damage during the war. After the war it was used as a sanatorium for children.
