For kids
Představ si, že se vrátíš zpět do doby, kdy se hrad na kopci nad řekou rozkládal jako neobyčejně mohutný a krásný komplex budov. Byla to skutečně ohromující stavba s vysokými zdmi a věžemi, z nichž některé dosahovaly výšky až 20 metrů.
Kdo tu tehdy žil? Kteří lidé se ukrývali za těmito zdmi a chránili před nepřáteli? Byli to páni ze hradu, jejich rodina i služebnictvo. Ti pak měli na starosti udržování hradu, jeho obranu a také pečovali o zahradu, kde pěstovali zeleninu a ovocné stromy.
