Mansions In Slovenia
A mansion is a large dwelling house. The word itself derives through Old French from the Latin word ''mansio'' "dwelling", an abstract noun derived from the verb ''manere'' "to dwell". The English word '' manse'' originally defined a property large enough for the parish priest to maintain himself, but a mansion is no longer self-sustaining in this way (compare a Roman or medieval villa). '' Manor'' comes from the same root—territorial holdings granted to a lord who would "remain" there. Following the fall of Rome, the practice of building unfortified villas ceased. Today, the oldest inhabited mansions around the world usually began their existence as fortified houses in the Middle Ages. As social conditions slowly changed and stabilised fortifications were able to be reduced, and over the centuries gave way to comfort. It became fashionable and possible for homes to be beautiful rather than grim and forbidding allowing for the development of the modern mansion. In British Engl ...

Castles In Styria (Slovenia)
A castle is a type of fortification, fortified structure built during the Middle Ages predominantly by the nobility or royalty and by Military order (monastic society), military orders. Scholars debate the scope of the word ''castle'', but usually consider it to be the private fortified house, fortified residence of a lord or noble. This is distinct from a palace, which is not fortified; from a fortress, which was not always a residence for royalty or nobility; from a ''pleasance'' which was a walled-in residence for nobility, but not adequately fortified; and from a fortified settlement, which was a public defence – though there are many similarities among these types of construction. Use of the term has varied over time and has also been applied to structures such as hill forts and 19th-20th century homes built to resemble castles. Over the approximately 900 years when genuine castles were built, they took on a great many forms with many different features, although s ...

Von Stadl
The Stadl family (also spelled von Stadler or von Stadel) was the name of an Austrian noble family from Styria, which also belonged to the provincial nobility in Lower Austria. The lords of Stadl from the Kornberg line were raised to barons, a side branch to imperial counts styled as ''Reichsgraf von und zu Stadel-Kornberg''. The male line of the family died out at the end of the 19th century. History The Stadl family was first mentioned in 1180 with Hugo von Stadl. The Knights of Stadl achieved great wealth and prestige in 1539 through the marriage of Christoph von Stadl to Anna von Graben, the heiress to the Lords von Graben zu Kornberg. Subsequently, Emperor Maximilian I. granted the Stadler dynasty the combination of their coat of arms with that of the lords of Graben (the Grabnerish with the upright spade). The inheritance of the lords of Graben included numerous and widely scattered lordships, estates and castles. This included the important lordship of Kornberg near Riege ...
