Here’s a list of 10 cool Castles and Palaces that would be interesting to visit

Sit back, click here, and enjoy viewing some really stunning castles and palaces.

HERE’S MY FAVORITE - The most famous of three royal palaces built for Louis II of Bavaria, sometimes referred to as Mad King Ludwig, the Neuschwanstein it’s a royal palace in the Bavarian Alps of Germany.

Begun in 1869 and left unfinished at Louis's death in 1886, the castle is the embodiment of 19th century romanticism. In a fantastical imitation of a medieval castle, Neuschwanstein is set with towers and spires and is spectacularly sited on a high point over the Pullat River gorge.

 
The construction of the castle was carried out according to a well thought-out plan. The castle was equipped with all kinds of technical conveniences which were very modern, if not to say revolutionary at that time. Running water on all floors.

There were toilets equipped with automatic flushing on every floor. A warm air heating system for the entire building. American tourists are already familiar with Neuschwanstein; the sleeping beauty Castle in DisneyLand, was modeled on it. (Photo by grotsasha)

I visited Neuschwanstein once. While beautiful on the outside, the inside was cheesy rather disneyesque. Compared to the other gorgeous castles we saw in the area, this one ranks as the worst interior (but I have to say,the outside was gorgeous especially from a distance.)
