Blackrock Castle is a castellated fortification on the banks of the River Lee. Originally developed as a coastal defence fortification in the 16th century to protect upper Cork Harbour, the site now houses an observatory, visitor centre and restaurant.

Thanks Nora. It looked a little bit like a building from Disneyworld, but it was a true castle from the 16th century....

Tout à fait Marie-Claire (pour le bâtiment), sinon, maintenant il est transformé en centre d’observation spatiale, très intéressant. Bon dimanche à toi.

RESTAURANT... hope they will reopen soon... I am not a cook and have been deprived, but I think of restaurant and bar owners who are struggling to survive, pay their bills and not getting a cent because they are not allowed to open...

Thanks Isabel. I agree, it's a big disaster for so many people. It makes no sense to close the restaurants: the owners have done everything necessary in the previous months to ensure the new sanitary rules, and just when everything was done - everything is forbidden !!! During that time in the metro there are a lot of people like in the supermarkets at the end of the afternoon (our curfew starts at 6:00 pm)...

Danke Dida, du hast recht, und ich finde, auch irgendwie nach "Walt Disney world" ;-)) Aber es stammt wirklich aus dem 16. Jh. Schöne Woche.

Danke Lothar, ich glaube mich zu erinnern, dass es so etwas dort nicht gab ! Vielleicht normal, das ist typisch französisch, und hier sind wir in Irland...

Oh...der wunderschöne County Cork....ein wenig kitschig sieht´s schon aus, aber was soll´s...was denn Rittern gefällt, gefällt mir auch :)
HBM Dir..und hab einen schönen Abend!

Christa1004 club has replied to Tanja - Loughcrew club
Danke Tanja, ja, da stimme ich dir zu, es hat etwas von einem Dornröschenschloss an sich;-)) Doch es stammt aus dem 16. Jh., und ich denke, die Sanierung wurde zu perfekt gemacht.... Hier sieht man es noch deutlicher... Schöne Woche.
