Burg Hohenzollern, Germany

The legendary Hohenzollern Castle is situated in Baden-Württemberg, not far from Stuttgart. For the first time the huge castle, which is situated on the summit, was mentioned in 1267. The archaeologists suspect that the castle was built almost 200 years earlier. The defense system has received important strategic importance until the 18th century. The last major reconstruction of the castle was carried out in the middle of the 19th century and was directed by Prussian King Frederick William IV.

The old castle was the house for the last Prussian Crown Prince Wilhelm and his family. The couple were buried in the Burgterritorium. Today, the famous historical landmark is known as the place where the most valuable artefacts tell the history of Prussia. In the castle are preserved the crown of William II, the collection of the personal belongings of Frederick the Great and the collection of the ancient letters. The castle is located at the height of 855 meters above sea level, so its visitors can not only see the historical artifacts, but also enjoy the panorama of the wonderful landscapes.

The followers of the mystical stories can wander through the ancient underground vault. This is often the strong din, for which there is still no physical explanation. Perhaps the movement of air through the narrow underground corridors is the reason for this. The locals believe that the ghost lives in the underground vault. Throughout the year the interesting cultural events, which are dedicated to the national traditions and history of Baden-Württemberg, take place in the castle. In summer, the open-air cinema is set up on the Burgterritorium. Next - Alcazar de Segovia
