German Castles -- 4 of The Most Incredible Ones -- Part I
Welcome to the second part of my special report
of 4 awesome German castles! As I already have told, we have a long
history here in Germany and very medieval castles. You can find them
all over the country, but those four I have focused on South
Germany, so that you do not have to travel hundreds of
kilometres/miles and lose valuable time.
I am sure you are hot to get to know them now,
so I go straight forward to them:
3. Stuttgart
Stuttgart area has, believe it or not, seven
(yes 7!) castles and palaces. I only explain one of them, the new
castle, because it is soooo huge, awesome and one of the most
beautiful German castles.
The New Stuttgart castle was built in 1746 as a
representative baroque residential palace for "Duke Carl Eugen von
Wuerttemberg" (long silly name, isn't it). After over sixty years of
construction with repeated interruptions, the interior and exterior
were completed in 1807. So much to the history.
When you are finished with the visit of this
castle, downtown is not far away and you can explore this too. You
will find many interesting restaurants, pubs and cafés.
4. Rastatt
This town is located close to the city
Karlsruhe, 70km in the south of Heidelberg (I mention Heidelberg,
because it's one of the most known German city).
The Rastatt castle is huge too and you have
lots of things to explore there. It is the oldest baroque residence
on the Upper Rhine River and has been completely preserved since
being built from 1700 to 1707 (yeah, in the year 2000 it had its
300th Anniversary!).
The area is very beautiful and the town spends
lots of money in this incredible castle. After your walk through
this residence you have a really short way to downtown and to its
nice pubs and restaurants.

Brodick
Castle has kept up a tradition that has seen a fortification of
some description in place since the 5th century. It was originally
constructed between 1220 and 1240 by the Stewarts. In 1263, the
Stewarts were ousted from the castle by the Macdonalds for their
support of the King of Norway but eventually they gained control
back.
