12 Beautiful Fairytale Castles in Europe - Travel Video
Check out all the places seen in this video: www.touropia.com/most-beautif...
Built by kings and queens to protect and rule their realms, castles had not only to be able to withstand attack but to project their power and wealth. As such, sturdy keeps and imposing walls were erected alongside marvelous palaces, full of ornate and elaborate chambers and throne rooms.
These castles were often built at strategic and spectacular settings at the mouths of valleys, at the entrance to mountain passes, or on glittering lakeshores. Add in the weight of history, and these amazing structures set amongst breathtaking scenery make for some of the most beautiful castles in Europe.

My favorite castle 🏰 from Europe is Neuschwanstein Castle from Germany 🇩🇪 Love from United States 😍 🇺🇸
This is Amazing. I´m currently doing my own Europe series on my channel and I just realized there is so much more I still have to see
These castles are absolutely breathtaking! Some of these places should definitely be on many people's bucket lists.
In love with Alcazar of Segovia 🤩🤩

Pena looks like its been bought by Disney :))
I was last summer to Corvin Castle. Very nice. And the Transylvania/Romania in general is very nice. A lot of castles and fortified churches. If you are a fan of medieval era, Transylvania is a place to visit.
Nice but very American selection, mostly Romanticist castles for the Disney factor

@Friedrich der Große Piss off, German peasant. It's Malbork. It was conquered by the Poles when they defeated those psychotic Teutonic turd eaters at the Battle of Grunwald. They were only hired by Konrad I of Masovia to convert the Baltic Prussians who were staging raids of Polish border towns. They weren't supposed to overstay their visit, but as usual the Germans don't know how to behave (the Poles had to teach you what a border is which is where you get the word "Grenze", from "granica"). Everyone under the Teutons revolted against those murderous thugs and savages. Also, may Frederick the "Great" burn in hell. He was a prick.

Eltz castle was not even mentioned, Mespelbrunn, Heidelberg, Lichtenstein and many others.

I really dont like the list. Castle are built during medieval time when Trebuchet, rams and catapult are widely used. Some of the castle in this list are built in the 1800's century. Those are just fancy palace built by the rich and not by the king/queen of those era. Don't get me wrong, they are beautiful, but not the true sense of what a castle is. The Crimean bird's nest looks tiny too.

What about Burg Eltz in Germany. A Castle that has never been concered or destroyed.
I've visited these castles: Switzerland: Chillon, Spiez, Sargans, Scoul-Tarasp, Werdenberg, Bellinzona, Sion, Hohenklingen; Austria: Hohensalzburg; Germany: Neuschwanstein, Hohenschwangau; Scotland: Edinburgh; England: Windsor.

I was in Neuschwanstein...is incredible and the most gorgeous castle). The video is interesting. Thanks for new information
Europeans were light years ahead of the world when it comes to architecture and building in general. Fantastic!
Went to Hohenzollern Castle a few years ago, beautiful place and amazing views of the surrounding area. But made the mistake of walking up to the castle via the stairs in about 35 degrees Celsius heat and back down again as I couldn't be bothered waiting on the bus, I suffered for days with the aches of my leg muscles.
Hundreds of people had to work for years to finish these castles, only for them to be used by one family.
Wow😍😍😍! Love ❤ to visit there
Beautiful video.
歴史を感じますね。
Eilean Donan Castle wasn’t actually “rebuilt” in the 20th century, but “restored”; with a large portion of original medieval walls remaining. Thank you for an interesting list! My personal favourite castle would have to be Bodiam Castle - a 14th century moated castle in England, which for me is just perfect in every way.
Truely wonderful✨😍✨😍

The Pena National castle is definitely the best
Muy bonitos, pero a mí me gusta el Castillo de la Mota. Greetings.
Only been to the PENA in Sintra, Portugal on this list which I class as a Palace. I did also visit the castle of the Moors which lies upon the adjacent hill to the palace. However, I am disappointed that a castle in Northern Italy is not on your list. The castle of TORRECHIARA is a hidden gem around 30 miles south from the city of Parma. Sadly their is no furniture, but the art is the painted walls and ceilings of the many rooms in this fortress. The hollywood cameras have visited here as the early appearance of Michelle Pfeiffer in "LADYHAWKE" was filmed here and in the surrounding hills. My visit to Emilia - Romagna that included a visit to Lambourghini factory, the towers of Bologna and the Palio races at Ferrara, was my greatest ever vacation and Torrechiara was one of the bonuses that I will never forget.

Although it is a beautiful one (been there already), you never would have picked Bran Castle without that 1898 novel of Stoker. If u want to pick a second one of Romania (beside Corvin Castle), you really should pick Peleș Castle. It is kind of Neuschwanstein's little sister. And btw..... really not any single one from France? Wow......
