There is something about the castles which has always fascinated me. Castles are the closest I could get to when I thought of fairy tales as a child and always thought of them as the home of the fairies. Though my thoughts about the castles have changed but they still fascinate me as they did years back. These splendid structures have had me awe-struck many a time and every castle holds a special place but as we are listing down top castles of Europe we have to leave out a few. So, here are the Top 5 Castles of Europe:
Castle Neuschwanstein, Germany: Built in 1800s in Bavarian Alps, Castle Neuschwanstein is nothing short of breath taking. Designed on medieval architecture this castle has inspired Disney’s Sleeping Beauty castle in Florida. Every year it sees around 1.5 million visitors from all over the globe.
Prague Castle, Czech Republic: Prague castle is a jewel in the crown of the Europe’s most beautiful city. Prague castle, the largest castle in the world was built in 9th century and now houses government offices. It is one of the most visited castles in Europe and probably the reason that guided tours to tourists are offered in 6 languages.
Windsor Castle, England: Windsor Castle is the oldest occupied castle and one of most popular castles in the world. Located in the Berkshire County, this castle is one of the better maintained castles. This is not just a castle but a town in itself.
El Alcazar, Spain: Located in the old city of Segovia, Spain it is one of the most picturesque areas in Spain. Originally built as a fortress, this castle has served multiple purposes. It has also been a royal palace, a state prison, Royal Artillery College and a military academy.
