Airplane in the garden – where is it?
(24 August 2020 / Images: November 2016)
We took this picture in November 2016 on our journey from Galati to Sibiu and eventually to Timisora. We’ve driven the road 100 times well since then, but we can’t find the garden by airplane anymore. Does anyone happen to know where the aircraft is and if it is still there?

It has 365 windows for the days, 4 towers for the seasons, 52 rooms for the weeks in a year, 7 terraces for the days in a week and 12 corridors for the months in a year. The castle is characterized by an unfulfilled love story between the owner and a Russian princess.
