A place to share cool castles!

Post images or any other content relating to castles, châteaux, palaces, towers, keeps, fortresses, and follies. The following content is encouraged but not required:

Castle name in native language (English name) - location [include country and region, if not city/town]
Best website (official or otherwise)
Some sort of map link
Visitation details: open/closed to public, closed but technically reachable, tours?, etc.
History: Whatever can be briefly copy-pasted

More than just images are welcome. Only real rule is that content must refer to a real-life structure, so please no fantasy/fictional castles! Reasonable exceptions include media showcasing period life and technology that somehow relates to castles.

Yeah; it's almost like a movie set. A lot of the interior was never realised after the original vision, and is now used mainly for exhibits.

If you want the real deal. The closest thing to a fairytale castle i have ever visited is Burg Eltz beside the Mosel river.

Fun sidenote: The Neuschwanstein castle banquet hall was intentionally copied from the banquet hall at the Wartburg by Eisenach..
