lordly castle

The collection of towers was linked by curtain walls and formed a true "closed-town" lordly castle.

Here and there above the trees and on the hill tops lordly castles reared their round, red towers.

There were also separate residences, lordly castles or manor houses and palaces in each town as well as separate repositories for their records.

With its lordly castle, legendary university and throngs of ice-cream-eating tourists, Heidelberg is one of Germany's most popular destinations for Americans.

The only evidence of the once stately pile of Castra Regis and its inhabitants was a shapeless huddle of shattered architecture, dimly seen as the keen breeze swept aside the cloud of acrid smoke which marked the site of the once lordly castle.

Shropshire is singularly rich in archeological interest, its pre-Reformation parish churches, the noble ruins of monasteries round the Wrekin, the Roman city of Uriconium (Wroxeter), the lordly castle of Ludlow, giving the county a place apart in the heart of the antiquary.

The 17th century, the zenith of the pre-modern Romanian civilisation, brought about a more significant development of outstanding lay constructions (elegant boyard mansions or sumptuous princely palaces in Moldavia and Wallachia, Renaissance-style lordly castles in Transylvania), as well as the expansion of great monasteries.
