RE: The Throne Hall Of Făgăraș Citadel

You should definitely pay attention to ceilings as quite many of the castles have this type of ceiling, if not beautifully painted ceilings. The ceiling is always an important part of any room in a castle and back in those days they always wanted to have the nicest. Italian castles have gorgeous painted ceiling.

Did I feel any different? I wanted to, as I mentioned in my post, but for that, I should have sit down for 10 minutes and teleport myself back in time. Shame but I did not feel any different, unless you count the impression the room design made on me. I liked the furniture.

But then again, I admire medieval times and what comes with it, what's been left to us, but hate what those times meant in terms of human rights and freedom.

So shoe cover, huh? 😂 You are funny, you know that?

Sort:  

I'm trying to think if I have ever noticed an outstanding ceiling. You're right, most castles wanted the best. And many also have paintings otherwise, that depict a lot about their time nay it be political or from an art point of view.
I do recall most using really heavy beams. But I can't recall any specific designs used.

Yes, shoe covers. Another fun fact: they are interchangeable with head covers (for non OT use) when either a head cover or shoe cover is in shortage 😆

Lol, you're teaching me tricks now 🤣 it may come in handy if sh*t hits the fan and we have to wear these in the hospital. Once 1 paid 1.5€ for a pair of booties and 2€ for a mask. Madness!!!

Heavy beams, yes, those were also used, but in case of rustic style castles. The fine ones, especially thosr with fancy ball rooms have painted ceilings. Like Schönnbrun in Vienna. Lovely one, you need to visit it one day 😉, it's a must! Versailles as well. The mirror ba room is stunning.
