Those stained glass windows make me cry, to think of them being lost. However, I am impressed with the people from this area for not having destroyed them by vandalism already. They wouldn't last a week in most parts of the U.S. :-(

I wish people would get their heads out of thier a*ses and stop tearing these buildings down. Whatever it costs to renovate it's worth ever penny. These structures cannot be replicated.

It's a shame the government is just going to toss away this gem of a castle... sad because the architecture is absolutely stunning and also the history behind the place makes it one that should be renovated. To think the reason why the past is lost is partly due to the fact money is needed and will not be put forth to secure a monument of such stature... Truly saddening...

I'm kind of dumb to these things, but do most of these buildings lay in the hands of the (government) ? Is that why so many lay in ruins? I guess I'm just a dreamer but I'd love to hear one day that someone formed a historical society and fixed it up for the sake of preserving it's timeless beauty.

I agree with alot of people in this thread. What a total shame and waste of what was a beautiful building. The stained glass windows are beautiful. They just don't make buildings like this anymore. I do agree in the US those windows would be totally gone. I do hope that they try and save something from this building. If not was a total shame. Just think the $$ it must have cost back in its day and the cost now to have windows like that...heck even the building itself. Of course to restore it now would cost a ton to. Its a shame it got to this point really. What a waste really. Makes me sad.
