The castle is about two kilometers north from your location - you can find the mark on Google maps if you look better.<br />Maybe the area will be smaller than the one you have already calculated :(. But probably it is the BIGGEST RUINED CASTLE and maybe the castle "hill" is the biggest. ;-)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13061760042807777052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19155128.post-71821540991853923062009-12-29T17:52:24.513+01:002009-12-29T17:52:24.513+01:00I see a problem with your planning.

You failed to do so for prague castle. Another thing that needs to be taken into account is the ratio of building to grounds. Malbork property is large yes but limited on structure compared to Prague castle.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08977018398389759297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19155128.post-3224705953367311242009-12-21T19:53:13.036+01:002009-12-21T19:53:13.036+01:00Great blog.

There is something of history:<br />Zvolen has lived for years under the auspices of the Castle, today known as the Deserted Castle, which was the seat of the royal “komitat”, that is a territory stretching in the area of the whole today’s Central Slovakia. Castle was divided into the Upper and Lower Castle and its area was over 7 hectaresAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19155128.post-90511087828658799052009-03-31T11:34:00.000+02:002009-03-31T11:34:00.000+02:00Great post!
