I've taken the castle tour twice. It's interesting to learn about the history behind it. Sadly because of King Ludwig's death, the castle was never finished. Only about 25% of the castle was ever used/finished. Oh, and wear comfortable shoes if you want to go. It's a fairly steep climb. Otherwise be prepared to shell out some cash for the carriage ride up the mountain.

It's a very special place because it's still owned and inhabited by the family von Eltz who had the oldest parts built 800 years ago.

Thought I recognised the castle! They filmed Merlin there :D it’s amazing! Great photo :)

Lovely castle and surroundings, there are so many nice walks around!

Wow amazing!

This is a church, not a castle. Built in the 13th century, entirely of wood, and placed just utside Notodden in South Eastern Norway

Gotta love a moat.

Scotland is so beautiful!!!!

Heidelberg is beautiful. Go and visit.

" There Are Many Castles To Visit In The Loire Valley (France)" NOT ONLY in the Loire Valley but all over France: thousands of them !

I love how the rooves offset the stones of the castle

I love the Harz, spent a lot of time there as a child

Aahhhh!! A castle by the ocean?...I'm here for it!!😍😍

This is Chateau de Pierrefonds again.

*Lac Léman, not Lake Geneva. The locals will get very annoyed with you if you call it Lake Geneva.

I love it...an unpreposessing castle!

No sleep waking!

Lucky you.

Not a very good disguise, I can still tell it’s a castle.

Prachtig kasteel, kwam er als kind al.

She's my favourite. You will not believe I was humming La Conga Blicoti while looking at these posts

Are the two different styles two different eras of the castle’s construction?

It's important, because the monk Martin Luther did the unthinkable here and translated the Bible (new testament) into the language of the common folk, ending the exclusive reign of the catholic clerics over the interpretation of the Bible. As the Bible surprisingly deviated quite far from what the church has been selling until then it lead to the foundation of the protestant church (Lutheran church). It also played a key element in the 1848 revolution https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wartburg

This is a church!
