I agree that GTC is not the place to air territorial disputes.

The photo shows Hermann Castle on the left, which is clearly in Estonia. The photo shows Ivangorod Fortress on the right, which is (at least presently) in recognized Russian territory. The photo also shows the Narva river in the middle. The Narva river is currently the internationally recognized border between the two countries. Therefore, either answer (Estonia or Russia) should be considered correct.

For the Taj Mahal, only one response is acceptable: India.

For the Dome of the Rock, personally I would accept Israel or Palestinian Authority.

So my original answer that the castle is in Russia but the photo was taken from Estonia and the border is the river is entirely correct.

The new one is the rathaus in Landsberg am Lech, Bavaria. It was decorated by Dominic Zimmermann who received his training in Switzerland so the building could be in Berne.
