ipflo Hi
does any know where I can find nice sites about castles, fortresses, palaces and manors in Russia. where I can find a sort of introduction to the greatest and most specials castles of Russia.
By the way: I don't mean sites about the imperial palace of the czars in Sankt Petersburg. On the moment I am curious for everything with castles in Russia, which is not directed related to the imperial family, because the only things I find are related with the (schleswig-holstein-gottorf-)Romanovs.
Peter Not found much up to now Ipflo. When I think I've something, it tells me 'Page Unavailable' ... will keep trying.
Merlin Seems almost impossible to get anything. I just found this page in german about the old castle of Kaliningrad (Königsberg), founded in the 13th century and destroyed in the 20th:
http://www.calguard.ca.gov/ia/konigsberg/Kaliningrad%20-%20ko-schloss%20deu.htm
ipflo anyhow thx very much for the searching
they are probably some sites in russian or so about russian castles (or (medieval) manor houses), but unfortunately not in english/ german/ french. (i can't imagine that they are no other castles in russia then the kremlins of moscow, kiev and novgorod and the castle of viborg/ viipuri)
el sid there a lot of sites about russian castles
but only in russian language
but the following link has a translation tool
from russian to german, english and france language. a page about bellarussian castles in german: weißrußland)

(zamki = castle)
hope you enjoyed

ipflo hi
thx for the site
i was already afraid that the most sites were in russian
merry christmas & happy newyear
ipflo concerning the russian country houses i have found a nice site and a book.
the site (with info on 3 houses) is:
http://www.a-force.org/
it is the site of the American Friends of the Russian country estate. it is great to see that there are such organisations to help the russian cultural heritage to survive.
the book is "LIFE ON THE RUSSIAN COUNTRY ESTATE A Social and Cultural History" of Priscilla Roosevelt (chairman of a-fore) ( http://www.yale.edu/yup/books/055951.htm ). I bought it yesterday and is great book for some one who want to know more about the russian country house. the book is comparable with the books 'life in the english country house'( http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0300058705/qid=1040992145/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1_1/026-7753429-6340426 )and 'life in the french country house' ( http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/1841881252/ref=pd_bxgy_text_2_cp/026-7753429-6340426 ) of Mark Girouard.
Now i hope that i will find such a great book on russian castles one day in the near future
