Spectacularly hidden from view of the public eye by an ever expanding forest, Donadea Castle is by far the largest within this demise. It has a fairly modern apperance, appearing more as a stately home than a castle, but from the periferal view its jutting jigsaw shaped edges give away its castle origins. Windows appear to be an important factor as they appear vastly in the front but at the sides they are smaller but still appear at regular intervals along the wall. The surrounding forest appears vastly expanding from the four corners of the castle, which would have been a good form of defense in earlier times as it is completely out of eye shot. Although the forest is acessible to the public at a cost of 4 euro, so leave your car on the street, the castle is not acessible. Views are only clear from the sides and from the front. Threr is however a gate in which the back of the castle can be seen. The castle is quite well preserved in comparison to other castles of its knid around the country. It is very easy to imagine how it would have appeared many years ago as the frontal facade has not deteriorated much. All in all it is an amazing place to visit.
