We are living in a world where every single day a new skyscraper is being constructed but looking at a Castle brings back all the childhood stories of Kings and Princess which were told back by our grandparents. Europe is known for its beautiful and grand castles all around the globe and here is our pick of top 5 mystical castles of Europe. If you’re considering taking a vacation in Europe any time soon, try throwing in a few of these attractions to be transported back to Medieval age.
1. Neuschwanstein Castle (also known as “castle of paradox”)
You might have seen this castle in Disney movies or various magazines because it is one of the most photographed castles in the world, but there’s still nothing quite like seeing Germany’s fairy-tale castle in person. Neuschwanstein Castle is one of the most visited castles in Germany and one of the most popular tourist destinations in Europe. The Neuschwanstein Castle really looks like a fairy-tale castle. It was built in the 19th century in Bavaria, in a time when castles no longer had strategical and defensive purposes. One of the interesting fact about Neuschwanstein Castle is the designer of the castle was Christian Jank. He was not even an architect but a theatrical designer. The Sleeping Beauty Castle’s design in Disneyland was inspired by Neuschwanstein.
2. The Alhambra ( One of the few “Muslim castles” in Europe)
3. Hohenzollern Castle (also known as “The Castle in the clouds”)
4. Prague Castle (One of the “Largest Castles” in the world)
5. Edinburgh Castle (Only Castle on top of “Extinct Volcano”)
