This old continent has witnessed thousands of years of battles, wars, building and destroying. So, what really remains after such a tremendous historical journey, it's the strong architecture, designed to stand tall against the enemy's attacks, or just to stand like a proof of the military and economical power of the state. Built in various architectural styles, the castles are an example of design and engineering at high levels, in times when the available "technology" was represented by the human sense for architecture, beauty and engineering.
Here are my favorites:
1.Neuschwanstein Castle - a Romanesque-revival palace located in southwest Bavaria,Germany
2. Peles Castle - Neo-Renaissance castle in the Carpathian Mountains, near Sinaia, in Prahova County, Romania
3.Huniazilor Castle - Gothic-Renaissance castle in Hunedoara (Transylvania), Romania.
4. Leeds Caste - situated in Kent, England
5.Chambord Castle - a very distinct French Renaissance castle in located in Chambord, France
6. Häme Castle - a medieval castle in Finland
7.Trakošćan Castle - a castle that dates back to the 13th century located in northern Croatia
