Only after his death at the end of the 19th century relatives found out what kind of apartment he arranged for himself under the family the castle. Strange pathology. Man as a creature is not always causes a feeling of tenderness and joy. “The closer I get to know the person, the more I like dogs, “- the author of this saying hard, but the aphorism hit the target and became winged.

Duke Herzog didn’t want a military or political career, did not appear in society and went to his family castle Welbeck, where the entrance was closed to absolutely everyone. Incomplete dozen servants remaining in the castle, in rare meetings with friends told strange things. All the space around the castle is planted by the trees.

Occasionally, workers came to the estate, that descended into the dungeon, where some work was carried out, the essence which remained unclear, some boxes were lowered into the basement. Construction crews left, only inflaming the curiosity of local residents. Underground Palace In total retreat Bentic Scott lived to be over 80 years old.
