A place to share cool castles!

Post images or any other content relating to castles, châteaux, palaces, towers, keeps, fortresses, and follies. The following content is encouraged but not required:

Castle name in native language (English name) - location [include country and region, if not city/town]
Best website (official or otherwise)
Some sort of map link
Visitation details: open/closed to public, closed but technically reachable, tours?, etc.
History: Whatever can be briefly copy-pasted

More than just images are welcome. Only real rule is that content must refer to a real-life structure, so please no fantasy/fictional castles! Reasonable exceptions include media showcasing period life and technology that somehow relates to castles.

One might argue, it is still not completed. Ludwig II ran out of money and the interior rooms aren't all finished, you just get to see the ones that are, during the tour.

There are more spectacular castles to visit, for example Ludwig's other projects Schloss Herrenchiemsee and especially Schloss Linderhof (which he actually finished), but Neuschwanstein probably has the best landscape surrounding it. So I'd say the best way to enjoy it, is to look at it from the outside. (The interior tours are also pretty rushed, in my opinion)
