Preserving Castles from Decay

Description

The founding of the Castle Association in 1927 is rooted in cultural policy. After castles were rediscovered in the course of the 19th century as objects of longing and knightly romance (e.g., Hohkönigsburg), a debate soon arose about the medieval image conveyed, which was quickly rejected as unscientific. Associations like the Swiss Castle Association picked up this discussion and began to communicate castle knowledge to a broader audience, both in research and in outreach. What exactly are the key points of the 100-year history of the Castle Association?
