The trust will hand the site back to the council, which – according to Pavlos Kotsonis, Nottingham city council’s portfolio holder for leisure, culture and planning – will ensure the castle shall reopen ‘as soon as possible’. In a statement, Nottingham Castle Trust noted that while visitor numbers were improving, they had remained ‘significantly below’ its projections. The trust’s three-year restoration project aimed to turn the historic site into a ‘world-class heritage destination’, bringing in 300,000 visitors a year. Nottingham Castle Trust has gone into liquidation, forcing the closure of Nottingham Castle less than 18 months after it reopened to the public after a £33m renovation. The Celtic and Roman Museum’s website states that it will remain closed until 29 November. The mayor of Manching, Herbert Nerb, told the Sueddeutsche Zeitung that the thieves cut off the telephone and internet connection for the whole of Manching in order to carry out the heist ‘all connections to the police were severed’, he said. The 483 Celtic coins, which were discovered in 1999, date back to the third century BC and are thought to be worth ‘several million euros’, according to local police. Hundreds of 2,000-year-old coins have been stolen from the Celtic and Roman Museum in Manching, Germany, in a heist that took less than nine minutes.
