Is that one the one in Germany?
It represents the typical image one has of a castle as a child.

Maybe only other German castles could come close to Neuschwanstein.

Castle Karlštejn in the Czech Republic:
 I really dislike Neuschwanstein. Granted, the surroundings are nice, the view also...but it is new! It's not authentic! It is a little more than 100 years old. It has electricity in most rooms, heating pipes, tap water...where is the castle feeling in that?! But I guess the looks are enough to amaze North Americans..

Yes, lack of electricity and tap water do not factor in. Last edited by erbse; November 11th, 2012 at 11:29 AM. |
