00:36It was built in the neo-romantic style, combining Gothic, Renaissance, and medieval elements.
00:42Tall spires, arched windows, elegant balconies, and numerous towers give it a truly magical appearance.
00:49This castle even became the prototype for the Sleeping Beauty's castle in Disneyland.
00:55Just look at this breathtaking landscape and stunning architecture.
00:58No wonder it attracts over 1.5 million tourists every year.
01:03I mean, it looks especially spectacular in the winter when everything around is covered in snow.
01:10It truly does resemble a fairy tale setting, as if the Snow Queen herself resides there.
01:19So, it's a beautiful castle.
01:21Near the town of Cushum in Germany, atop one of the hills stands the ancient medieval Reichsberg Castle.
01:26It sits on a hill 100 meters above the Moseli River, offering a picturesque view of the valley in the town below.
01:34Founded around the year 1020, the castle has survived wars and the passage of time.
01:38Despite suffering destruction, it has been carefully restored and preserved in its original medieval appearance.
01:43In the 19th century, German businessman Louis Ravenet invested millions of dollars in its reconstruction.
01:51The castle occupies a vast area. Just look at the breathtaking view overlooking the town.
01:57From above, the fortress appears truly impenetrable. However, today it is open to thousands of tourists.
02:04At the end of the 19th century, a Berlin businessman restored it.
02:08Stepping into the courtyard, though, feels like traveling back to the Middle Ages.
02:11The walls are adorned with dozens of towers and intricate mosaics.
02:18According to legend, the castle has secret underground passages leading to the Moseli River,
02:23which could have been used to escape from enemies.
02:25Lichtenstein Castle is a fairytale fortress perched on a steep rocky cliff in the Swabian Alps,
02:36near the town of Rudelgen in Germany. It is often called the Fairytale Castle of Wartenberg,
02:41due to its romantic appearance and stunning location.
02:45The main part of the castle stands dramatically on the edge of a cliff,
02:48seamlessly blending with the surrounding rock formations.
02:50Built in the Neo-Gothic style, it features high towers, sharp spires, and arched windows,
02:57plus massive stone walls. A bridge even stretches over a deep gorge,
03:01adding a thrill to the entrance of the castle.
03:04Today, the castle houses a museum open to visitors. The walls are adorned with ancient
03:09statues and ornate carvings, and inside, you can see authentic artifacts like kerosene lanterns.
03:14The courtyard is beautifully decorated with flowers and sculpted bushes.

03:26including a museum and an authentic armory with cannons.
03:31You can explore many fascinating corners of this historic site.
03:34The castle still belongs to the descendants of the Dukes of Urak, but remains open to tourists.
03:40So, if you love medieval history and breathtaking architecture,
03:43you will surely enjoy wandering through this magnificent fortress.
03:50Hohenzelern Castle was built in the Middle Ages, around the 11th century, as a defensive fortress.
03:55It is situated 855 meters above sea level, atop a mountain.
03:59This made the castle nearly impenetrable to enemies, but today, thousands of tourists visit it daily.
04:07The castle consists of massive walls, towers, turrets, and gates that form a majestic complex.
04:11It's tall central tower, resembling a spire, is the highest point of the castle.
04:17The fortress is surrounded by powerful walls and defensive towers, designed to protect it from attacks.
04:23Stepping into the courtyard feels like stepping back in time to the medieval era.
04:26The site features numerous ancient artifacts, real cannons, and knight statues.
04:31You can walk along the defensive walls and admire the landscape using binoculars.
04:35Several legends are associated with the castle. Some tourists and guards claim to have seen strange
04:41shadows and heard mysterious noises in the old corridors. It's said that the spirit of a woman
04:46from the Hoselearn family, who was cursed and cannot find peace, still wanders the halls.
04:51Could ghosts really inhabit this castle?
04:53Hohenschwangan Castle, located in southern Germany, was built in the 19th century.
05:01It was the childhood residence of King Ludwig II of Bavaria and was constructed by his father,
05:06King Maximilian II. The castle has a striking yellow exterior and resembles a colonial-style palace.
05:13Situated 800 meters above sea level, it offers breathtaking views of the surrounding Alps and Lake Alpsi.
05:18The picturesque landscape perfectly complements the fairytale-like appearance of the castle,
05:25making it a truly enchanting sight. Today, Hohenschwangan Castle is one of Germany's
05:30top tourist attractions, welcoming over 300,000 visitors annually.
05:36The castle grounds feature exotic plants, historic fountains shaped like lions and birds,
05:40and numerous ancient murals on its walls. At the top of the building, there's a large white bird sculpture.
05:45One of the reasons why this castle is so popular amongst tourists is its proximity to Neuenstein
05:51Castle, Bavaria's most famous landmark, which we mentioned earlier.
05:57The two castles are amongst the most beautiful in Germany. Visitors can walk from one to the other
06:02in less than 40 minutes, or drive between them in just 5 minutes. The close distance between the
06:06two castles is no coincidence. King Ludwig II spent much of his childhood at Hohenschwangan
06:13town, and later decided to build his own grand residence nearby. He wanted not only to preserve
06:17his cherished childhood memories, but also to create the ideal romantic castle of his dreams.
06:33Mount Saint Michael is one of France's most famous landmarks, located on a rocky island in Normandy.
06:39It is not just a castle, but a true medieval town on an island, surrounded by high, impenetrable walls.
06:45During the Hundred Years War, the English were repeatedly trying to capture Mount Saint Michael,
06:49but never succeeded. This incredible tourist destination features authentic houses and streets.
06:59During low tide, it looks like an oasis in the middle of a desert. There's nothing around it,
07:03except for a modern road. This castle reminds me of a Disney fortress, with its massive stronghold at the top.
07:12The walls of the main castle are decorated with elegant Gothic arches, spires, and stone sculptures.
07:17The highest point is the bell tower with a gilded statue of Archangel Michael, who seems to be watching
07:22over the entire island. Below the monastery, you'll find narrow, winding streets lined with old stone
07:28houses. There are souvenir shops, restaurants, and hotels that seamlessly blend into the medieval style
07:34of the island. You can admire authentic shop signs, charming squares, and countless fascinating details.
07:42If not for the hundreds of tourists in modern clothing wandering the fortress,
07:46you could easily believe you had traveled back to the 17th century.
