Castell is a municipality in Unterfranken, Bavaria in Germany.
Its history is closely connected to the Counts of "Castell zu Castell"
whose seat still remains there.
The origins of the Castell family can be traced back to the year 1057. Rupert de Castello was the first ancestor to be mentioned in archives. The oldest record of the family’s right to bear the title of Count is found in a royal charter of 1202. The Castell family was an influential force and reigned over a number of well-known places in Franconia. In 1901, the Count of Castell was promoted to the Prince of Castell, demonstrating the recognition of Castell by the royal family of the Wittelsbacher (Bavaria).
Following World War II, Albrecht Prince of Castell-Castell (being only 20 years of age) took over the responsibility for the family and business side and developed – among other things – the Domänenamt to one of Germany’s largest private wineries. Nowadays, Prince Castell is the head of the family, while his son Erbgraf Ferdinand (Hereditary Count) manages the winery and all other business ventures.

Goldener Herbst in Unterfranken (2)
Castell ist eine Gemeinde in Unterfranken und hat eine interessante Geschichte. Es liegt am westlichen Rand des Steigerwaldes.
Der Ort ist eng mit der Fürstenfamilie Castell zu Castell verbunden, die hier ihren Stammsitz hat.
Die besondere Bedeutung Castells ist darin begründet, dass es bis 1806 die Hauptstadt der reichsunmittelbaren Grafschaft Castell war.
Als 'reichsunmittelbar', auch 'reichsfrei', wurden im spätmittelalterlichen und frühneuzeitlichen Heiligen Römischen Reich diejenigen Personen und Institutionen bezeichnet, die keiner anderen Herrschaft unterstanden, sondern direkt und unmittelbar dem Kaiser untergeben waren. Sie wurden als reichsunmittelbare Stände oder Immediatstände bezeichnet.Aufgrund der früheren Eigenständigkeit ist Castell auch Sitz eines Dekanats der Evangelisch-Lutherischen Kirche in Bayern.Die St. Johanneskirche ist eines der Wahrzeichen des unterfränkischen Dorfes.
Bekannt ist Castell auch für den Weinbau, der dort eine lange Tradition hat.Verschiedene Weingüter, insbesondere das Fürstlich-Castell'sche Domänenamt, produzieren Spitzenweine.Bevorzugte Rebsorte ist die Silvanertraube, welche hier 1659 zum ersten Mal auf deutschem Boden gepflanzt wurde.

David Lynch directed in 1980, the film "The Elephant Man" based on the true story of Joseph Merrick, known as "The Elephant Man". Merrick was born in 1862 in Leicester. A year and a half after his birth, he began to suffer from malformations throughout his body, a process that accelerated and worsened at the age of five. Joseph Merrick suffered from Proteus syndrome, a hereditary genetic syndrome that manifests itself in the embryonic phase, due to a mutation in the human genome. This syndrome causes excessive skin growth, abnormal bone development and the formation of tumours in the upper half of the body. Joseph Merrick wandered for years at fairs and freak shows, where he was displayed for cruel mocking. Despite his illness and ill-treatment, Joseph Merrick was sweet-natured and polite, demonstrating in the last years of his life, where he achieved some peace and quiet, that he was a person of above average intelligence. Courage and bravery in overcoming his illness were his life's goals, always with gentleness, delicacy, politeness and in the face of society's rejection. Merrick died in 1890, at the age of 27. You can find this information in more detail at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Merrick. David Lynch's film is highly recommended. A sad and very hard film to watch, which shows us the goodness that can be kept in the soul, even being a strange and different person and showing us the other side of the coin, the cruelty and wickedness of those who consider themselves... "normal people".

The House Goldschmieding is a former noble seat on the urban area of Castrop-Rauxel. Its origins lie in a knighthood from the 13th century, whose name is composed of the Middle High German terms "gholt" for "wood" or "at the forest" and "smedinc" for "forge."
In the last quarter of the 16th century, the house was completely redesigned in the style of the Lipperenaissance by its owners and presents itself today - in a reduced form - as a simple plaster building, which is used as a restaurant.
In conjunction with the knight Lambert von Gholtsmedinc, Haus Goldschmieding was first mentioned in 1275 as the boundary of the archbishop's Recklinghausen against the counts von der Mark. At that time it was a defensible house surrounded by a countryside, located on an island. The corresponding foreshore was also located on its own island and was connected to the main island via a bridge.
At the end of the 14th century the property came to the family of Alstede, followed by the family of Asbeck. Only a little later the property was owned by William of the Ovelacker. After the hereditary daughter of Goldschmieding, Anna Margaretha von Ovelacker, married Johann von Schell zu Rechen in 1583, Haus Goldschmieding moved into the possession of the lords of Schell, who had their ancestral seat in the house of Rechen near Bochum. Jürgen Christoph von Schell (1619-1677) became the patron of the small Protestant congregation in Castrop. He enabled her to celebrate Evangelical Lutheran worship in the Knight's Hall. In the second half of the 16th century, the Protestant congregation had been able to celebrate its divine service at Bladenhorst Castle, but after its castle lord Philipp Arnold von Viermundt (also called "Philipp von Viermundt der Jüngere") turned to the Reformed Church, this was no longer possible there.
It is not known when the monastery was founded, but the Turkish Ministry of Culture and Tourism places the date around AD 386, during the reign of the emperor Theodosius I (375–395).[7][8] According to William Miller, two Athenian monks named Barnabas and Sophronios founded the monastery. It became famous for an icon of the Theotokos known as the Panagia Gorgoepekoos, said to have been painted by the Apostle Luke.[9]
During its long history, the monastery fell into ruin several times and was restored by various emperors. During the 6th century, it was restored and enlarged by the Byzantine general Belisarius at the behest of emperor Justinian.[7]
It reached its present form in the 13th century after gaining prominence during the existence of the Empire of Trebizond. While the emperors Basil and John II had endowed the monastery richly, it was during the reign of Alexios III (1349–1390) that Sumela received its most important largess: according to legend, the young Alexios was saved from a storm by the Theotokos, and was bidden by her to restore the monastery. A chrysobull dated to 1365 confirms the freedom and autonomy of the monastery, together with all of its hereditary lands and dependents; exempts them from all taxes, except for one biannual tax; and restores to it the serfs whom the tax-collectors of Matzouka had illegally taken from it, listing 40 of the serfs by name. At that time, the monastery was granted an amount annually from imperial funds.[10] During the time of Manuel III, son of Alexios III, and during the reigns of subsequent princes, Sumela gained further wealth from imperial grants.
On a Jewish cemetery, you will find a number of gravestones which depict two hands with their thumbs inwards, pointing up, and slightly spread between the ring- and middle finger. This indicates that the deceased was a Kohen (priest) who watched over offerings and gave his blessing in that manner. They are regarded as the descendants of Zadok, who was a relative of Aaron. Aaron's younger brother, Moses, appointed Aaron as Jewish priest. He was the first Kohen. According to the books of Exodus, Leviticus and Numbers, the family of Aaron had the exclusive right and responsibility to make offerings on the altar to Yahweh. This means that Hebrew priesthood was hereditary through the male line. Kohens are also called "Sons of Aaron".

There are quite a few well-preserved hands on the Jewish collective cemetery Wenkheim but the ones seen here I found the most impressive. I love the bright-green lichen on the wonderful reddish sandstone.
Please remember:
Politicians and monarchs have the power to make war,
but we, the people, have the power to make peace.
Arithmophobia or Numerophobia is the exaggerated, constant and often irrational fear of numbers. The words Arithmophobia and Numerophobia both have Latin/Greek origins where the root word stands for numbers, and phobos is Greek for “deep aversion or fear”.
The fear of numbers can place many restrictions on the phobic’s life and may even affect his standard of living. Specific number phobias like the fear of number 13 or 666 etc could be fuelled by cultural or religious beliefs or even TV shows and movies about them. She/he often feels embarrassed to admit the problem causing one to become socially withdrawn. Hereditary, genetic factors and brain chemistry can sometimes lead to this phobia.

Eine Frühlingsimpression von der Bad Nenndorfer Süntelbuchenallee: Süntel-Buchen beeindrucken durch ihre verdrehten, verkrüppelten, miteinander verwachsenen Äste und ihre sehr kurzen, drehwüchsigen Stämme. Sie wachsen mehr in die Breite als in die Höhe. Dabei erreichen sie nur selten eine Höhe von über 15 Metern. Mit ihren herabhängenden Zweigen bilden die Süntelbuchen zeltähnliche, halbkugel- oder pilzförmige Kronen aus. Die Wuchsform ist erblich, ihre Entstehung aber noch ungeklärt. (Wikipedia)
A spring impression from the Bad Nenndorfer Süntelbuchenallee: Süntel beech impresses with their twisted, crippled, intertwined branches and their very short, rotating stems. They grow more in width than in height. They rarely reach a height of more than 15 meters. With their hanging branches, the beech trees form tent-like, hemispherical or mushroom-shaped crowns. The growth form is hereditary, but its origin is still unclear. (wikipedia)

West Irian, Papua New Guinea island. A representative of the dominant minority, a migrant from the island of Java, rests in the shade in the house of a Papuan from the Lani tribe. Such a picture is not single, fallow deer are open to communication.
Approximately like the inhabitants of the island of Cuba during the struggle for independence. They believe in Chegevara, Bob Marley, they are inspired by the ideas of justice, and they dream of becoming masters of their land. An extremely dangerous for them religion for today... Today, the Lani tribe has scattered around the island and, instead of hereditary tribal territories, and they stray in the lands of other Papuan peoples.

Vischering Castle (Burg Vischering) in Lüdinghausen, North Rhine-Westphalia is the most typical moated castle in the Münster region of Germany. This region has one of the highest German concentrations of castles, palaces and fortifications, Lüdinghausen having three by itself. The castle consists of outer defensive courtyard, defensive gateways, moat, drawbridge, main building and chapel. The sandstone walls, the red tile roofs as well as their reflection in the moat provide many harmonious views from the wooded surroundings.
Vischering Castle was built by Bischop Gerhard von der Mark to counter the second castle built by the Von Lüdinghausen family. It became the seat of the Droste zu Vischering Family. Droste is the local title for the hereditary noble administrators serving the Bishops of Münster. The moat is constantly replenished by a side-arm of the River Stever. The outer defensive courtyard contains the business and farm buildings. The main building is a horseshoe-shaped three-story structure with heavy outer wall. Its inner courtyard is closed off by the chapel and a lower defense wall. A castle keep is missing, having been removed during Renaissance renovations. Fire destroyed the castle in 1521. Rebuilding took place on the existing foundation. Windows and the addition of a large bay made the castle more liveable but diminished its defensive character. The whole site however retains the character of a feudal age moated castle. Damage from air attack during World War II was minor.
Vischering Castle houses the Münsterlandmuseum, an exhibit on knighthood for children, as well as a cafe-restaurant. It serves as a cultural center for Kreis Coesfeld. Visiting hours are provided in the first link below. Viewing the outside is possible at all times. The second link provides a more detailed chronology of the castle in German .
The city was formed along the Thure river, in the midst of peat swamps. This river was a branch of the river Dubbel and ran approximately near the current Bagijnhof. In 1049 the first reference to Dordrecht was made. Count Dirk IV was murdered that year near "Thuredrech".
Dordrecht was granted city rights by William I, Count of Holland, in 1220, making it the oldest city in Holland.
In 1253 a Latin school was founded in Dordrecht. It still exists today as the Johan de Witt Gymnasium and is the oldest gymnasium in the Netherlands. From 1600 to 1615 Gerhard Johann Vossius was rector at this school.
On 17th April 1421, the Saint Elisabeth's flood drowned large parts of southern Holland, causing Dordrecht to become an island. Over 100,000 people died in the flood.
Because of its strategic location the city developed into an important market city. It traded primarily in wine, wood, and cereals.
In 1572, representatives of all Dutch cities gathered in Dordrecht to declare their independence from Spain and acknowledge William of Orange as the leader of the fledgling Dutch state, marking the beginning of the Eighty Years War.
In 1618/1619, an important church meeting took place, called the Synod of Dordrecht, settling a theological dispute between the orthodox Calvinists and the liberal Arminians that had brought the country on the brink of civil war. The Arminians were defeated, resulting in the formulation of the Dordrecht Confession of Faith.
From 1780 to 1787, Dordrecht was home to the Patriots faction which intended to remove the hereditary Stadtholder position held by the House of Orange-Nassau. The Netherlands was after all a republic de jure. Soon after, more cities followed and William V fled from Holland. But his brother-in-law, King Frederick William II of Prussia, came to the aid of William V and on 18 September 1787, Dordrecht capitulated to Prussian troops. The Patriots were defeated and Willem V was restored in his position as Stadtholder.
In the 18th century, the importance of Dordrecht began to wane, and Rotterdam became the main city in the region.
Charakteristisch und festungstechnisch interessant sind die in mehreren Windungen durch das felsige Terrain zur Höhe führenden Befestigungsanlagen des Burgweges mit 14 großen Torbauten. Dieser Fahrweg überwindet in mäßiger Steigung tiefe Schluchten, gelegentlich entlang ausgemeißelter Felswände oder sich zu Waffenplätzen erweiternd, bis er die Hauptburg erreicht. Ein zweiter Zugang, Narrensteig genannt, führt über den steilen, felsigen Westhang, ist teilweise in den Fels gehauen und führt in die Burg, ohne die Tore des Hauptweges zu berühren. Die Absperrung dieses Zugangs leistete eine am untersten Teil errichtete wehrhafte Quermauer mit einigen heute nicht mehr bestehenden Zubauten. Beide verteidigungsfähigen Zugänge bestanden bereits in früher Zeit, wie der Chronist Unrest aus dem 13. Jahrhundert berichtete.
The site was first mentioned in an 860 deed issued by King Louis the German of East Francia, donating several of his properties in the former Principality of Carantania to the Archdiocese of Salzburg. It was then named as ‘Astarwiza’, its name being of Slavic origin. In the 11th century Archbishop Gebhard of Salzburg ceded the castle to the Dukes of Carinthia from the noble House of Sponheim in return for their support during the Investiture Controversy. The Sponheim dukes bestowed the fiefdom upon the family of Osterwitz, who held the hereditary office of the cup-bearer in 1209

This region has one of the highest German concentrations of castles, palaces and fortifications, Lüdinghausen having three by itself. The castle consists of outer defensive courtyard, defensive gateways, moat, drawbridge, main building and chapel. The sandstone walls, the red tile roofs as well as their reflection in the moat provide many harmonious views from the wooded surroundings.
Vischering Castle was built by Bischop Gerhard von der Mark to counter the second castle built by the Von Lüdinghausen family. It became the seat of the Droste zu Vischering Family. Droste is the local title for the hereditary noble administrators serving the Bishops of Münster. The moat is constantly replenished by a side-arm of the River Stever. The outer defensive courtyard contains the business and farm buildings. The main building is a horseshoe-shaped three-story structure with heavy outer wall. Its inner courtyard is closed off by the chapel and a lower defense wall. A castle keep is missing, having been removed during Renaissance renovations. Fire destroyed the castle in 1521. Rebuilding took place on the existing foundation. Windows and the addition of a large bay made the castle more liveable but diminished its defensive character. The whole site however retains the character of a feudal age moated castle. Damage from air attack during World War II was minor.
Vischering Castle houses the Münsterlandmuseum, an exhibit on knighthood for children, as well as a cafe-restaurant. It serves as a cultural center for Kreis Coesfeld. Visiting hours are provided in the first link below. Viewing the outside is possible at all times. The second link provides a more detailed chronology of the castle in German .

The Cayx Palace (Danish: Château de Cayx, French: Château de Caïx) is a residence of the Danish Royal Family located in the wine district of Cahors in southern France.In medieval times the castle formed part of the defences of the town of Luzech due to its dominance of the Lot River.
In the 15th century the chateau belonged to the Couderc family, who were notaries in Luzech, and in the 16th century the Courtois family held the lordship. With his marriage to Hélène de Courtois in 1640, Gerard Lefranc became lord of the domain. He was the first hereditary president of the Cours des Aides in nearby Cahors. His grandson, Jacques Lefrance, was president when the court was moved to Montauban in 1709, when he bought a property at Pompignan. Jacques' eldest son, the noted French poet Jean-Jacques Lefranc, Marquis de Pompignan spent the first half of his life at Cayx and received some of the inspiration for his garden at the Chateau de Pompignan from the siting and views (though not the architecture, by then outmoded) of Cayx. Jacques' second son, Jean-Georges, bishop of Vienne and also an Enlightenment figure was raised there as well.[2] The sale of Cayx may have funded some of the building works at Pompignan, which itself was sold by Jean-Jacques' grandson in 1833

Moai and pukao cast down in the island's civil wars.
Platform will not be restored. Archaeological studies.
The 8 moai are now hunched in the exact position they were in when they were toppled, while the cylindrical pukaos (hair buns of the Polynesians) rolled great distances, two had to be removed from the bay.
***
After they were finished, the Moai were taken to the so-called Ahu, which were ceremonial platforms of stones that served as cemeteries for the noblest of the clan.
About 880 moai have been found on the island. 288 of these Moai are believed to have been taken and lifted on a platform. 397 moai remained in their factory (the Rano Raraku quarry) and 92 Moai were found on what would be the path between the quarry and the Tahu.
The Ahu Moai era lasted about 800 years. The intense need to always build more Moais and always bigger and more detailed, caused the overexploitation of the island's resources. Then, causing the depletion of resources in the 17th century.
Anyway, the scarcity generated fights between the clans, causing war where all Moai were overthrown. This act demoralized the "enemy" and was the greatest offense that a clan could receive. With the fall of the Moai, the Rapa Nui's devotion to their ancestors came to an end, and the power of the Ariki (king) was significantly reduced.
All of the Moais that remain on Easter Island today have been restored and replaced in that way. After the Ahu Moai era, there was no Moai left over the Ahu (platforms).
Huri Moai era:
Around 1680, the Huri Moai era began. This period was marked by the scarcity of resources and wars between the Rapa Nui clans. Thus, in this period new political and religious expressions gained strength, focusing mainly on the god Make-Make, on fertility and the power of matato’a (warrior leaders).
In order to lessen disputes, the Birdman competition was created. Eventually, through this competition, a new leader would be elected annually. Competitors needed to swim to Motu Nui Island (located right in front of Orongo) and capture the egg of the Manutara bird. The first to return to Orongo with the egg intact would be recognized as Tangata Manu, the reincarnation of the creator God Make-Make. Then, he became the island's leader for a year. Thus, the achievement of the highest rank on the island was no longer hereditary and became merit.
The most important ceremony of this cult took place in the village of Orongo, located at the top of the Rano Kau volcano.
Insieme al mio fotoclub stamattina siamo stati a visitare Cancelli frazione di Foligno, provincia di Perugia, in Umbria, centro Italia, e i dintorni della montagna praticamente spopolata. A Cancelli la famiglia Cancelli, nella sua linea ereditaria maschile, storicamente ha la capacità di guarire dalla sciatica, capacità guaritive trasmesse nientemeno che dagli apostoli Ss. Pietro e Paolo.
Together with my photoclub this morning we went to visit Cancelli fraction of Foligno, province of Perugia, in Umbria, central Italy, and the surroundings of the practically depopulated mountain. In Cancelli the Cancelli family, in its male hereditary line, historically has the ability to heal from sciatic nerve disease, healing abilities transmitted by none other than the apostles Sts. Peter and Paul.
The pilgrimage city Werl is a city in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, and belongs to the district Soest in the administrative district Arnsberg. Since 14 January 2015, it has been allowed to use the official name of pilgrimage city.
Around 850, salt extraction was first mentioned in Rithem. The city lay on a ledge of the strand of hair to the north, making it an ideal location for a castle. The Counts von Werl, who were influential throughout northern Germany, moved from Meschede to Werl around 900 and built the "Werler Grafenburg", which was not located on the site of the Kurkölner Landesburg castle, which was built only in 1519.
Their exact location has not yet been explored. The "curtis dicta Aldehof" is located partly near the Werler market, partly in front of the city, but lacks clear written evidence or architectural remains.
During excavations on Bäckerstraße, briquetages from the end of the pre-Roman Iron Age were found. The clay-fired support feet were placed in a fire and served as a base for clay pots in which salt water was evaporated. They are the oldest evidence of salt extraction in the urban area, and date from around 800 BC.
In 1024 Werl was first mentioned with the place name Werla. The second part of the name Werla (la = Loh = oak forest) suggests that the origins of the city lay in an oak forest. Emperor Heinrich also died that year. He had chosen Konrad the Salier as his successor. On Henry's behalf, Bishop Meinwerk of Paderborn had approached Count Hermann von Werl, who was a sibling of Emperor Henry. Hermann von Werl was to gather the Saxon princes in the Werler Castle and hold a primary. There appeared to this election: Bishop Meinwerk of Paderborn, Thiemar, the brother of the Duke of Saxony, Count Siegfried of Stade, Count Benno, Count Amelung and others. The preselection of Konrad, the later emperor Konrad II, came about. He was the great-grandson of Luitgarde, the daughter of Emperor Otto I. Konrad's wife, Empress Gisela, was the daughter of Count Hermann I of Werl and his wife Gerberge of Burgundy.
In the investiture dispute between Emperor and Pope in 1085, the Count's House sided with the Emperor - Count Henry II. von Werl was appointed Bishop of Paderborn. The brothers of Count Heinrich, Counts Liupold and Konrad, divided the county into equal districts: Liupold became Count von Werl, Konrad Count von Arnsberg. The oldest coin minted in Werl, minted around 1092, shows Count Konrad von Werl-Arnsberg. Count Liupold donated his property to the Cologne Church in 1100. In addition to the Count's parish church, the Archbishop of Cologne built a St. Nicholas Chapel. Pastor Albertus was mentioned (earliest mention of a pastor). The Werler parish church was given away by the Count of Arnsberg to the Wedinghausen monastery in 1197. Until 1803 the lords of the monastery appointed the pastor of Werl.
In 1218, the village of Werl was granted city rights by Archbishop Engelbert I of Cologne. The Erbsälzer von Werl were first mentioned in 1246. In 1272, the city of Werl was granted the more liberal Rüthener law. Count Engelbert von der Mark destroyed the city during a raid. It was rebuilt on a smaller scale. Again and again Werl got between the fronts of the different sovereigns; therefore, the city was destroyed more often, but also built tirelessly by its citizens. Thus, after the Battle of Worringen in 1288, the troops of Count Eberhard I von der Mark in the Limburg succession dispute took the town of Werl and destroyed it. The city was rebuilt only to a reduced extent, which corresponds to today's historic old town.
Since the end of the 13th century, the city was administered according to the council constitution. The council consisted of two mayors and ten councillors. These were chosen from four guilds, the Hereditary Salters, Merchants, Bakers and Arable Farmers. The Erbsälzer had the privilege of appointing one mayor and five councillors from each of their ranks. The resulting tensions were not resolved until 1725 with the departure of the Erbsälzer from the municipal association, after enulation. The Erbsälzer represented the patrician of the city of Werl.
The owners and sole operators of the former salt extraction in Werl were the families of the so-called Erbsälzer, who were recognized by the emperor in 1708 the Reichsadelsstand on the basis of a certificate of 1432. The right of salt extraction and the peerage were hereditary. At the end of the 14th century, the Erbsälzer consisted of 48 families. By the end of the 16th century, the number of families entitled to a settlement had shrunk to eight. Today there are only the families of lilies and papen, the others died out in the male branch.
The oldest record of the Werler Privilege "Sonderrecht" dates from 25 February 1324 (jurisdiction, election of the council, inheritance law). On March 16, 1326, Werl forced the local castle men of the archbishop to pay duties and to perform guard services, like all other Werler citizens. The Georgshospital in front of the Büderich Gate was donated by the Council on 2 May 1326. The Werler town hall was first mentioned on 15 February 1327. A dispute arose in 1381 between the heirs and the other three guilds; It was about filling the Council posts.

The olive baboon (Papio anubis), also called the Anubis baboon, is a member of the family Cercopithecidae (Old World monkeys). The species is the most widely ranging of all baboons: It is found in 25 countries throughout Africa, extending from Mali eastward to Ethiopia and Tanzania. Isolated populations are also found in some mountainous regions of the Sahara. It inhabits savannahs, steppes, and forests.
The olive baboon lives in groups of 15 to 150, made up of a few males, many females, and their young. Each baboon has a social ranking somewhere in the group, depending on its dominance.
Female dominance is hereditary, with daughters having nearly the same rank as their mothers, and adult females forming the core of the social system. Female relatives form their own subgroups in the troop. Related females are largely friendly to each other. They tend to stay close together and groom one another, and team up in aggressive encounters within the troop. Female kin form these strong bonds because they do not emigrate from their natal groups.
The diet typically includes a large variety of plants, and invertebrates and small mammals, as well as birds. The olive baboon eats leaves, grass, roots, bark, flowers, fruit, lichens, tubers, seeds, mushrooms, corms, and rhizomes. Corms and rhizomes are especially important in times of drought, because grass loses a great deal of its nutritional value. In dry, arid regions, such as the northeastern deserts, small invertebrates like insects, worms, spiders, and scorpions fill out its diet. – Wikipedia
Il Borgo di Compiano è dominato da un Castello le cui origini sono antecedenti VIII secolo D.C. I primi proprietari del Castello furono i Malaspina, e successivamente i Landi, che dal 1257 al 1682 governarono lo Stato. Il Principato Landi si estendeva tra Compiano, Bardi e Borgo Val di Taro. Artefice di questa incredibile fortuna fu Federico I Landi che nel 1595 vide un'opportunità nel matrimonio tra la sorella Maria ed Ercole Grimaldi, allora Signore di Monaco; da quel momento in poi i discendenti di quest'ultimo poterono fregiarsi del titolo di Principi.
Fu ancora un matrimonio a un momento decisivo per la dinastia Landi, nel 1630 Federico II Landi, non avendo linea ereditaria maschile diretta, acconsentì al matrimonio tra la figlia Polissena e Gian Andrea Doria, portando alla fusione delle due dinastie. Dopo essersi già impossessati della zona di Borgo Val di Taro, di questa situazionerono i Farnese che dall'inizio del XVII rivendicavano i feudi di Bardi e Compiano, dove si insediarono nel 1682 trasformando il secolo il Castello in una prigione, che rimasero a tale sia Durante la conquista napoleonica, sia durante i moti rivoluzionari del 1821. All'unità d'Italia nel 1861 l'ormai ex Stato Landi entrò a far parte della Provincia di Parma.

The Borgo di Compiano is dominated by a Castle whose origins date back to the 8th century AD. The first owners of the castle were the Malaspina family, and later the Landi family, who ruled the state from 1257 to 1682. The Principato Landi extended between Compiano, Bardi and Borgo Val di Taro. The architect of this incredible fortune was Federico I Landi who in 1595 saw an opportunity in the marriage between his sister Maria and Ercole Grimaldi, then Lord of Monaco; from that moment on, the descendants of the latter were able to boast the title of Princes.
It was still a marriage at a decisive moment for the Landi dynasty, in 1630 Federico II Landi, having no direct male hereditary line, agreed to the marriage between his daughter Polissena and Gian Andrea Doria, leading to the merger of the two dynasties. After having already taken possession of the Borgo Val di Taro area, this situation was taken by the Farnese who from the beginning of the 17th century claimed the fiefs of Bardi and Compiano, where they settled in 1682, transforming the Castle into a prison, which remained as such. During the Napoleonic conquest, both during the revolutionary uprisings of 1821. With the unification of Italy in 1861, the now former Landi State became part of the Province of Parma.

Vischering Castle (Burg Vischering) in Lüdinghausen, North Rhine-Westphalia is the most typical moated castle in the Münster region of Germany. This region has one of the highest German concentrations of castles, palaces and fortifications, Lüdinghausen having three by itself. The castle consists of outer defensive courtyard, defensive gateways, moat, drawbridge, main building and chapel. The sandstone walls, the red tile roofs as well as their reflection in the moat provide many harmonious views from the wooded surroundings.
Vischering Castle was built by Bischop Gerhard von der Mark to counter the second castle built by the Von Lüdinghausen family. It became the seat of the Droste zu Vischering Family. Droste is the local title for the hereditary noble administrators serving the Bishops of Münster. The moat is constantly replenished by a side-arm of the River Stever. The outer defensive courtyard contains the business and farm buildings. The main building is a horseshoe-shaped three-story structure with heavy outer wall. Its inner courtyard is closed off by the chapel and a lower defense wall. A castle keep is missing, having been removed during Renaissance renovations. Fire destroyed the castle in 1521. Rebuilding took place on the existing foundation. Windows and the addition of a large bay made the castle more liveable but diminished its defensive character. The whole site however retains the character of a feudal age moated castle. Damage from air attack during World War II was minor.
Vischering Castle houses the Münsterlandmuseum, an exhibit on knighthood for children, as well as a cafe-restaurant. It serves as a cultural center for Kreis Coesfeld. Visiting hours are provided in the first link below. Viewing the outside is possible at all times. The second link provides a more detailed chronology of the castle in German .

A Cancelli la famiglia Cancelli, nella sua linea ereditaria maschile, storicamente ha la capacità di guarire dalla sciatica, capacità guaritive trasmesse nientemeno che dagli apostoli Ss. Pietro e Paolo.
