Royal collection
All around the castle, there are man portraits hanging on the walls. King and Queens that have ruled the country and the people. I was wondering what kind of people they were, and what kind of life they lived here. There were many china plates and different element from all over the world. The design of all of it is simply stunning. Furniture, souvenirs, guns and shotguns on the walls, knights uniform and shields. Amazing!
