Welcome

In a country as big and rich in history as Germany, you can be sure to find some of the world’s most spectacular castles – from medieval fortresses to noble palaces. Scattered all across the country, most are steeped in history, and some are still owned by the original families. From the fairytale-like Neuschwanstein Castle widely recognized across the globe to Instagram-famous Burg Eltz, you can be sure that each place is as awe-inspiring as the other. Germany is home to the world’s longest castle complex, and many of the country’s castles sit perched high above the surrounding scenery on hills and even cliff edges, graciously overlooking the nearby lands. While some have stood the test of time unaffected, others have been at the very heart of furious battles and wars, luckily, restored to tell the stories of the past.
