625 BY - Mir Castle Complex (2000)

Brief Description

"The construction of this castle began at the end of the 15th century, in Gothic style. It was subsequently extended and reconstructed, first in the Renaissance and then in the Baroque style. After being abandoned for nearly a century and suffering severe damage during the Napoleonic period, the castle was restored at the end of the 19th century, with the addition of a number of other elements and the landscaping of the surrounding area as a park. Its present form is graphic testimony to its often turbulent history."

米尔城堡群
"米尔城堡于十五世纪末动工建设,属于哥特式风格,后来在文艺复 兴时期及其后的巴洛克风格盛行时期得到不断扩建和重建。城堡曾被遗弃了近一个世纪,后又在拿破仑一世时期受到严重破坏,但最终于19世纪末得到修复。在修 复过程中,加入了许多其他要素,美化了周边景观,建成了一个公园。如今的面貌是其历经沧桑动荡的历史写照。"
