The Small World of the Great Castles

The Small World of the Great Castles

The international castle show in the Styrian volcano country

Hello friends of architecture,

Today we visited the castle show in the castle Kornberg in the southeast of Styria, it was more than worth it !!

Fantastically beautiful models of well-known castles and palaces with landscapes and lighting at night.

If you are in the vicinity, you should not miss this exhibition as a model maker.

Information about the exhibition can be found HERE
An exhibition of castles and palaces of the whole world, unique in Europe, will be opened on 03.03.2018 in the Meierhof to Schloss Kornberg. Open Tuesday to Sunday 10 am to 6 pm!
15 models and 2 historical battles immerse you in a unique miniature world. The locks are replicated on a scale of 1:75 and 1: 100, whereby the smallest details of the architecture, the décor and the landscape are reproduced in astounding accuracy.

SPECIAL LIGHT EFFECTS
allow a view by day, at night and at dawn. The lighting of the castles offers such a fascinating spectacle. The battles are detailed with hundreds of hand-crafted figures.

SPECIAL GUIDES
or audioguides in 6 languages ​​offer more than 2 hours of interesting stories, legends and myths.


In addition, there are many 3D images and surprises for interesting photos. Amazing facts about the history of the castles and their lives round off the exhibition.

Right in the entrance area is a diorama of the Battle of Kahlenberg - Austria.
As you can see in the background, there are even the cardboard models of UMBUM to buy, these are graphically very nice but quite simple plug-in models.
The dioramas are very detailed designed and act properly moved.

The models were built by a Slovenian and a Russian model maker, it is supposedly already the next models in work, so the exhibition will then be enlarged.

Right at the entrance we see the castle Predjama in Slovenia, it is a cave castle, only the size of the model is amazing.
It follows the Potala Palace in Tibet ...
... and Trakoscan Castle in Croatia with great details in the courtyard.

In recurring sections, it is always dark, so you can see the interior and exterior lighting of the models, a great spectacle as here at the Potala Palace in Tibet
The Dracula Bran Castle in Romania is also to be admired.

At night, there is a spooky show with a full moon and bats, very original.

Castle Pierrefonds I have already built the Defiant Fortress in Normandy
At Villandry Castle in France, the vegetable garden in particular is a feast for the eyes
A few nice details of the castle Trakoscan.
