Betliar

How the rich and famous of the 16th century lived at Betliar, Slovakia was an eye opener.
A travelling trunk that was used to visit exotic places and bring back strange souvenirs- elephant heads and feet and a mummified human head among them.
Some old armour cluttering up the entrance hall.
An Oriental themed room complete with drapes from a harem and a Chinese carved chair.
THE most amazing library- we couldn't get any closer to it, but Wow!
