Friday, January 31, 2014. Sans Souci – Burg or Schloss? Today, I would like to highlight a different kind of German castle than the ones that I’ve discussed previously.

It was built in the Rococo style, and is often compared with the larger Baroque palace at Versailles. Century, Sans Souci became the residence of Prussian Frederick William IV. As yo...

Thursday, June 21, 2012. Amateur Archeology at Burg Waldeck. Have you ever been somewhere where you’ve wished you had a shovel and metal detector? That is how I felt when I visited the castle ruins at Waldeck. OK, now I’ll admit that I love archeology. When I poke around old castle ruins around Germany, I usually want to know a little more about the site…but the urge to start digging doesn’t normally hit me as hard as it did here. I just “knew” there was something important buried there. But, you couldn&...

Lacey Falcone: Burg Eltz - Castle Intact

Friday, June 14, 2013. Burg Eltz - Castle Intact. 65279;One cannot talk about German castles without discussing Burg Eltz.

Monday, October 22, 2012. Frankenstein’s castle – or should I say castles? Boris Karloff as Frankenstein's monster. We all know the story of Victor Frankenstein and the monster he created, thanks to Mary Shelley. Mary was vacationing in Geneva, Switzerland in 1816 with her then-fiance, poet Percy Bysshe Shelley, her step-sister Clara Mary Jane Clairmont (who was pregnant with Lord Byron’s child), Lord Byron and Doctor John William Polidori. It was the coldest summer on record, and it was very rainy.

Wednesday, May 9, 2012. Trifels Castle – Where Richard the Lionheart was held for Ransom. I live in Germany, and you can’t go anywhere in this beautiful country without practically tripping over a castle or castle ruins. I read somewhere that there are 20,000 castles or castle ruins in Germany. This month, I’m posting about one of my favorite castles (well, I should really call it a castle group) – Trifels castle. The main castle is called Trifels. The castle held the crown jewels from 1125 until 1298.
