How Neuschwanstein Castle is not included in this video or not #1 baffles me. Nicknamed the fairytale castle

7:31 *"THERE ARE 365 ROOMS, ONE FOR EVERDAY IN A YEAR."* SO THEY HAD TO SLEEP OUTSIDE ON 29TH FEB DURING LEAP YEAR??

Neuschwanstein in Germany is the castle of Cinderella abode was based on.

2:45 My first thought was not Cinderella, It was *Farquad*

That castle looks better with nature taking over

They should restore that French castle, it's Sooo beautiful

Just to help: 0:11 Pena Palace - Portugal 1:39 Château de la Mothe-Chandeniers - France 2:53 Alcázar of Segovia - Spain 4:09 Guedelon - France 6:06 Mont Saint-Michel - France 7:23 Castello di Montalto - Italy 8:54 Assumption of Mary Church Lake Bled - Slovenia 10:35 Pamukkale (Cotton Castle) - Turkey

Beautiful European architecture

I came here not expecting to see the Castle in Segovia. I was there this year and it was just absolutely beautiful. The town itself and the walk up to the alcazar is also a one of a kind experience😄

Saint mont michel is soooo beautiful sooo cool so tiny compact and yet so big. It feels magical and i believe the castle from tangled was based of this monastery

I've been to Mont Saint Michel. It's absolutely wonderful.

I've been to Mont St Michel and it is by far one of my top favorite places I've ever been. It was incredible to see in person.

I actually visited Mont Saint Michel back in 2011. It was stunning!

I'd never heard of a few of these, thanks for the travel tips! Since you had Pena Palace, I'm surprised you didn't include the Quinta da Regaliera just down the road. It's one of the most enchanting places in the world (in a fairytale sense) with a botanical garden filled with ornate stone architecture, grottoes and ponds. Also in the area is Monserrate Palace, a stunning example of Moorish Revival architecture like the Castello Di Sammezzano featured here, except it's actually open to the public.

Well done. Thank you. The most mystical, fairy tale castle - for me - was Quinta da Reigeila - close to the first moorish castle in Sintra, portugal. Well worth visiting (and showing).

The church that is on a tidal island is my favorite. The church on the island in Slovenia is my second favorite. The castle in Tuscany with 365 rooms is phenomenal. Thanks.

N1: Portugal 🇵🇹 home sweet home 🇵🇹 went to that palace when I was little. Kinda want to go there again 😁

The castle at 6:15 is almost the same as the on in Tangled

How these people gonna make a video about castles and not go to Germany smh.

Great big story:“How to build an ancient castle in modern Times” Me: *takes notes*

you should visit this buddhist temple in vietnam made of broken glass and marble pieces, i went there a few years ago and it was absolutely beautiful

0:35 what a cute lion

Architecture is the perfect symbol of mankind's capabilities. Ingenuity, aesthetic, and sheer force of will all wrapped into one.

All the castles are beautiful!!! But Sintra, Portugal is a fairy tale land in real life. It's a magic place. Thank you for this video. ;)

Wales is the most castle dense country in the world, with over 600 castles and loads of cute little villages surrounding them, JRR Tolkien used welsh to create the elvish language, the country where the legends of dragons, goblins, fairies, mermaids, giants, gryphons and King Arthur come from, was amazed when I visited hope to go again one day.

If you want to see more on them building the castle today, they did a series on the British channel Timeline.

I've been in Guedelon in 2017. What you see there isn't set up for the camera, they work like this every day and you can walk right up to them and ask them about their work, assuming you know french. I also visited Mont St.Michel a week earlier. Also stunning but don't go during high season.

One of the best channels thank you for being so informative

Mont Saint Michel is know as "the wonder of the west". Minas Tirith was inspired by him.

Neuschwanstien castle in Germany is literally what Disney’s castle was based on

It is my dream to travel and see these beautiful castles with my own eyes.

I'm so happy that I live in Europe, so it's relatively affordable to visit these sights, in a lifetime! :D

This was my addiction for the past two days! Finding beautiful places

0:53 "During the revolution of 1910... It wasn't restored untill the 20th Century" Now THAT is a very long time

Portugal!

''circumnavigating the world'' - Yet only got as far as Europe!

One should also consider the Royal Alcazar in Seville, Spain which is set in a spectacular citrus and floral garden and the castle itself has well-preserved breathtaking Moorish architecture from its days when it was the home of the ruler of the Taifa [Arab kingdom] of Seville. Oh, and despite the fact that it's located right smack in downtown Seville, thanks to its garden and surrounding garden walls, it's rather tranquil with the surrounding city noise and even pollution largely shut out. It's still a royal palace for the current monarch of Spain.

in Poland we have 100'ts of castles/palaces like that one... just type Moszna palace, or Malbork castle.. and there is more and more.. there is alot in Germany as well

There are lots of magical places in Japan also. The village of the last thatched roof houses in Japan, it was simply beautiful. And their gardens of sakuras, plum blossoms, wisterias, roses. Ok , I know, I love gardens.

One day I will build my own castle.

Earth is full of beautiful places!😍

Only two places are amezing: Pena Castle Portugal, Mont Saint Michel.

walking up to the the cliff side castle was hardwork but OMG the view from up there was freaking amazing!!!!!!!! Lake bled was so beautiful. you have to pay to go for a swim. it wasn't mutch but uts very deep warter

If you ever visit Portugal, check out the whole town of Sintra! It feels like a real life fairy tale! The Pena Castle(shown in the video) is a beautiful and colorful masterpiece and there are many mansions and castles like Quinta de Regaleira and it’s Initation Well , Moors Castle, Monserrate Palace and the National Palace.

So sad that we won't have such amazing videos anymore. Love GBS

I used to live like 30 mins from Mt St Michel in Saint Malo

Montse Michel is one of my dream places :)

This will help my fantasy book series sooo much

France should put that on the merchandise at the Abbey "Mont St.-Michel: More than just a church on a rock" love the video, thanks so much!

Visited bled in 2017 it was cloudy but still the most wonderful place I've been to

Some of those castles have dark history behind them. Not all is sunshine and rainbows.. But they are beautiful.

I wish to go there and sit Watch the beautiful colors

You should check out Bojnicky castle in Slovakia!🇸🇰 Looks like a fairytale

Sintra is in the top 8. Fantastic!!! 👏🏻

6:07 I went to the mont saint Michel yesterday 😂👌🏼 And I’ve been to lake Bled

Absolutely stunning places!

other people's bucket list: Island hopping. me: castle hopping.

Palácio da Pena - Portugal :)

You forgot all of Scotland :(

Boldt Castle, on an island in the St. Lawrence river between New York state and Ontario, Canada is one which I would recommend, also the Grand Hotel atop Mount Mohonk in the Shawangunk mountains in upstate New York. The hotel was built in different sections, all in different architectural styles, over the years. A portion was built over a natural lake with a stone bed atop the mountain that has no outlet. There's also a lighthouse on top of the mountain called "The Mountain Tower", I recall hearing that one can see three states from the top of the tower, on a clear day. I've heard of the castle that's being built in France, using the ancient methods. Once the work is completed, hopefully the workers who built it won't get into a feud over who's castle it is, and the project will end in a huge battle where they all murder each other. (of course, using medieval weapons) Sitting up all night watching RU-vid videos makes me have some strange thoughts.

You should've add the Abandoned palace in the Philippines, also called as the abandoned disney land in the philippines

I wonder if the second castle was an inspiration for hayao Miyazaki’s film castle of cagliostro

I did a presentation about the deterioration of castles for language arts this traditional year.

Let me add more,some from my travel list.. Sonar kella, rajasthan Fatehpur sikhri, Delhi Jodhpur fort, Jodhpur city palace, jaipur Mysore palace, mysore Tajfalaknuma palace, hydrabadh Chownahallah palace, hydrabadh chettinad palace, chittinad Shaniwarwada, pune

Out la la!! Les Chateues Francés c'sont tres tres belles!!!

France is the most visited country on earth... and it's pristine castle are one of the reason for that.

From my country I suggest fairytale castles: Hluboka Lednice Hradec nad Moravici Cesky Krumlov Cervena Lhota Orlik all in the Czech Republic :)

I can't believe you didn't add the *Alhambra Palace.*

There is a similar small castle on the Emerald Bay of Lake Tahoe, maybe it's inspired by the Bled, Slovenia castle. There picture here referring to Hierapolis is actually Pamukkale, next to Hierapolis. The picture perfect blue "pools" are dried up now, since the hot springs are diverted to other directions. Tourist are require to remove their shoes to keep the surface white, security guards are watching. Although the "pools" are pretty to look at, but when you step on it, the tiny calcium deposits on the surface feels in needles on your feet. A few locals wore thick socks, I guess it was OK? Not shown here is the Cleo Petra hot spring pool, it will cost 50Lira to swim in this ancient pool. I choose to swim for 1.5 hours in the natural hot spring instead of walking up to the Hierapolis. I lost my museum pass while hiking up the Pamukkale and I had to wait for the security guards to figured out what I was talking about since their English were limited. Eventually they let me hike up the hill bare foot again to retrieve my museum pass at the guard station. Imagine race hiking on bare foot, it was not a good feelings, but I had to retrieved my Turkey all museum pass for the rest of my journey. There are many hot spring around the area, one is a hot spring underground, there were baby turtle swimming in it. Another small rust color hot spring was so hot it can boil eggs in it!

I think that the rotunda of the Italian castle was a stage for s scene in Pasolinis "Salo".

I was very surprised to see I’ve been to three of these: Alcazar, Pena Palace, and Mont St. Michel. I hope to go to Lake Bled this year.

Cute Fairytale-ish Castles 😃😄🧚‍♀️🧜‍♀️ !

I love traveling on RU-vid! Thanks so much

For those who are interested, Château de la Mothe-Chandeniers will be opening to visitors in Spring 2020. Book tickets on the website (and see some more stunning photography) at mothe-chandeniers.com/en/

Wow it’s really nice and Beautiful to visit this country

One of the best videos I have ever watched.

6:13 blew my mind. Unbelievable.

“During the revolution of 1910, the royals fled and it grounds were abandoned. It’s wasn’t until the *20th Century* until the state fixed it.” I’m pretty sure 1910 was in the 20th century..

Could have included Castell Coch in the village of Tongwilais just outside Cardiff, Wales

Ah pamukkale is beautiful I visited it with my grandparents. So beautiful

Ive been to the palace in portugal!!

I wish that the crumbling castle will be restored, it's so beautiful 🥺

Id love to visit Mont Saint Michel! I need it! lol 6:08

I want to go to that Turkish hot spring. It looks wonderful. Even the ducks appear to be smiling

Le mont-saint-Michel is a wonderful thing to see, if you’re in the normandy area, this should be on the top of your to-do list. This is the closest you could come to Minas Tirith in Return of the King

Keep up the great work 👍!

I hope to build my own castle, or better yet my own palace, some day...I almost want to take over Les Trois-Moutiers, restore it, convert the moat into a swimming pool that encircles the castle, with lights and a fountain feature 🏰

The castle from an island stuck in time reminds me of Arendelle from Frozen

Something you should definitely add is the Taj Lake Palace in Rajastan, India and Schloss Neuschwanstein, Germany.

Château de Pierrefonds is Camelot in BBC serie Merlin.

These places are amazing

Great panoramic shots. Thanks!

"100 degrees, perfect for soaking in" Me: Wut? Oh, you're using freedom units

Le chateau Frontenac in Quebec!

Bishop's Castle in Colorado was built in the 1950s and has a cool story, check it out

France is the country with the most castle in the world and I'm proud of that

fun fact : Mont ST michel is part of pair of similar buiding . the same building are in england and its call , you guess it , St Mickael Mount in south of england in Cornwall

Yoo i went to Sintra, its very beautiful

Why does it sound like the woman speaking french is hesitant to speak? It sounded like she was uncertain of what she was saying, but the french man speaking after her sounded effortless.
