Childhood at Weinburg. The Hohenzollern estate in Switzerland in the early years of King Charles I

Summary/Abstract: The Weinburg estate and villa in the canton of St. Gallen in Switzerland are among the favorite travel destinations of King Carol I of Romania (1839-1914, Prince of Romania from 1866, King from 1881). Several episodes in his life, some dramatic (such as his refuge from the revolutionary excesses of 1848 or his shelter from the cholera epidemic in 1855), others pleasant (the vacations he spent there with his parents, brothers and grandparents), connect him to this place. Even his journey to Bucharest in the spring of 1866, to take up the mission of prince entrusted to him by the Romanians, would have been hard to imagine without a Swiss passport, which he acquired thanks to this family property. Weinburg is a place that not only played host to King Charles I, but also profoundly influenced his biography.
