GESCHICHTE DER BEREZANY (Heute: Berezhany), kleine Stadt in West Ukraine. HISTORIA MIASTA BRZEZANY (Dzisiejsza nazwa Berezhany) na poludniowo-wschodnich kresach. Miasto bylo czescia Polski (byle wojewodstwo Tarnopolskie) przez dlugi okres czasu: z 1387 do 1772 oraz z 1920 do 1939, kiedy Wschodnia Polska byla okupowana przez Zwiazek Radziecki. Teraz Brzezany w niepodleglej Ukrainie. Archeology of Berezhany: Non-written history of Berezhany goes to thousands of years depth. Archeologists discovered the remains of three settlements which belong to the era of late paleolith. Ancient people settled not far from the banks of Zolota Lypa (Golden Lime Tree) river, at its high, forested and dry banks. At the place of one of this settlements, on the hills of mountain Zvirynets' (Polish name: Zwierzyniec), remains of flint master-shop of ancient times were discovered. Here primary work tool were found (flint knife-like plates, cutter, scratchers etc.) and a great number of remains of flint productivity - nucleuses, balls, plates. Certain flint products were found also at the place of of settlements at the upper flow of Zolota Lypa, at the present territory of Berezhany Brickworks Plant.

German Architecture
Germany is famous for its many castles, splendid cathedrals and stately city halls . Over the centuries a multitude of regional varieties and styles - gothic, renaissance, baroque and classic - have contributed to Germany's unique appearance.
But not only Neuschwanstein castle and Colognes twin-spired cathedral are worth a visit. At its best modern German architecture is spectacular. The 20th century has seen German architecture go around the world. The clear lines of 'Neue Sachlichkeit' and Bauhaus excerted a strong influence on architecture in the States and moulded a new international style.
The invention of reinforced concrete offered a world of possibilities to adventurous architects like Ludwig Mies van der Rohe und Walter Gropius

Castles and Palaces
Although the terms castle and palace have been used interchangeably for centuries, there are in fact distinctions which separate the two types of structures. A castle is a fortified building whose primary purpose is to provide security or defend a territory from one's enemies. A palace, in contrast, is a building whose primary function is that of a luxurious and often eccentric abode. Palaces predate castles by several centuries, with their first appearance being in the Egyptian and Middle Eastern civilizations of ancient history. Although castles are no longer recognized as a means of security from foes, palaces will continue to be built as long as there are people who can afford them. The links included herein relate to castles and palaces.

To the Castles
A Medieval Tour of Monumental Proportions
By Kit Carlson
Once upon a time there was a king, a Crusader, a man so brave that he was dubbed "Lionheart." Kidnapped by the Duke of Austria, the king was held in a cliff-top castle, where he languished in durance vile. When no one could discover where the captive was kept, the king's minstrel set out to find his master. He wandered the length and breadth of Austria, singing the king's own compositions outside the battlements of every castle. At last, in Durnstein, a lusty baritone floated down the hill in reply. England's King Richard was found at last.
Today, Durnstein Castle is a ruin, destroyed by Swedish cannons in 1645. Five hundred feet above the vineyards and towns that dot the banks of the Danube west of Vienna, its ragged curtain walls capture nothing but the imagination. Only the wind sings through its gaping portals.
