Nice, but not really medieval

Hey, thought I'd dig this thread back up again with another awesome German castle called Burg Hohenzollern:

It's situated high on a rocky hill, making it hard to attack, here you can see it sticking out above the clouds:

Looks almost magical, no? Like a floating sky castle.

It was mostly destroyed during a siege in the Thirty Years War (judging by this castle's almost-impossible-to-attack position high up on a rocky hill that must have been one Megablocks of a siege), but rebuilt again into a more beautiful castle that we see there nowadays.

I am very sorry! I'll edit it to be another Castle. Great to see you again on a place other than the Pages. :lol:

Excellent edit. Lichtenstein would be an awesome castle to build

And it's always good to see friends from the 'pages join us here.

Yes indeed. Me and my Father are attempting to build this currently. Yes I am the one who once invited you to a Cat group, in which we talked then departed.

I've been looking at Dzong architecture, forts in Bhutan and Tibet, the himalayas:

Gyantse Dzong 1
Gyantse Dzong 2
Gyantse Dzong 3

Kampa Dzong

I'd love to build something like those, absolutely spectacular.

Recently had the pleasure of visiting 2 castles. One in Wales, Carrig Cennen Castle and one near the welsh boarder in England, Goodrich. Thought I'd share some photos I took.

Hope they provide inspiration to others as much as they have to me!
