Castillo de Neuschwanstein

El Castillo de Neuschwanstein es el más famoso de toda Alemania y es famoso por haber sido el modelo que utilizó Walt Disney para el castillo de la Bella Durmiente. Iniciado por el rey Ludwig en 1869, les llevó a los más de cientos de artesanos de todo el mundo más de 16 años, y solo se pudo construir un tercio del total. Neuschwanstein se alza sobre el valle de Hohenschwangau. Desde afuera se ve una fabulosa obra de arquitectura medieval, una verdadera pieza de los cuentos de fantasía; pero el interior es una mezcla de estilos bizantino, romano y gótico, que se deja entrever en los espectaculares tallados y murales. Recorran el castillo y luego contémplenlo del Puente de María para observar todo su esplendor.

Palacio de Versailles

Sin ninguna duda uno de los edificios más opulentos del mundo, el Palacio de Versalles es el paradigma de la realeza de Francia. A pedido de Luis XIV, los arquitectos Louis Le Vau y Jules Hardouin comenzaron la construcción del Palacio de Versalles en el sitio en el que hasta ese momento se hallaba una pequeña cabaña de caza del antiguo rey. Versalles se convirtió en uno de los palacios más grandes de toda Europa y llegó a albergar a unos 20.000 miembros de la corte al mismo tiempo. El interior del palacio es deslumbrante y algunas de sus salas más famosas son los Apartamentos Reales y la Galería de los Espejos. En los jardines del palacio también encontrarán el Gran Trianon (1687) y el Pequeño Trianon (1762). En el año 1919 la Galería de los Espejos se ubicó en el eje de la política mundial a ser el sitio de la firma del Tratado de Versalles. Un ejemplo maravilloso de la arquitectura barroca francesa, este Patrimonio de la Humanidad designado por la UNESCO enamora con su grandeza y sus leyendas a todo aquel que lo visita.

Corvin Castle

Having been featured in many movies and series as a typical fairytale castle, the Corvin Castle is a majestic work of beautiful architecture that features towering buttresses and showcases features of a typical Transylvanian castle. It is characterized by pointed turrets and was built in 1446 in a Gothic-Renaissance style. One of the main attractions of the town of Hunedoara, the castle was built by the order of Iancu of Hunedoara, the leading Hungarian military and political figure during the 15th Century, and can be accessed by a drawbridge over the river below.

Frederiksborg Castle (Frederiksborg Slot)

Frederiksborg Castle is located in the middle of Hillerød and contains the National History Museum. Originally built by Frederik II in 1562, it was Christian IV's idea to build the wonderful Renaissance castle we know today. The castle burned down in 1859, and only the church is left; but the castle was rebuilt in 1865, from the outside looking just like before. Brewer Carl Jacobsen invested money so that the interior could be made like the original as well. Frederiksborg Slot contains a fine collection of photographs and portraits.
