I visited Konopiste castle in the Czech Republic that had a moat with a bear living in it. Inside, most of the place was covered in beautiful walnut. Hand carved patterning, and filigree. It was actually beautiful. And the ceilings were like 20 feet tall. A bunch of animal busts, linens, and furs. They even had the real white and blue fine China that Boomers are so obsessed with.

I remember thinking as I walked through there: "Wow, this is what it's supposed to look like"

Did the bear still live in the moat or was the bear only in the moat historically. Regardless I am disappointed that there are no pictures of the moat.

Bear was sleeping, it was at night. Only pic I have is this, it was not very impressive but it smelled like a bear lived there.

Thank you I am now contented. Also bears are fucking great I don't care if it was asleep or not.

Was it a panda bear or a polar bear?

Internet says: "The area's most famous resident is Medvěd Jiří (George the Bear). He is a black and brown Himalayan bear that lives in the enclosures at the castle's base. His appearances are rare, but his entrances are always sure to cause a stir among visitors."

Oh wow. Thank you for sharing these with everyone.

To be completely fair, great grandma's pattern china set probably did not include multiple 24" serving platters. Those pieces on the wall are a different class of china completely, and are probably way older and more valuable.
