Eltz Castle, Germany (by Quasebart)
I think this is Blair Castle in Scotland, but I could easily be wrong.
But it's still something I love just as much! I thought I'd share some stills from one of my favourite movies.

One of the great mysteries of the world is located in Florida where a 5 foot tall man built a huge park out of coral rock where some weighed as much as 31 tons. The reason it is a mystery is that he did it all by himself with no help. How did he...

The secluded ruins of Kinbane Castle are located on the Causeway Coastal Route. It's my favourite hidden gem of Northern Ireland.
Vintage Postcard, 1976 Ottobeuren, Bavaria (Bayern) Note: recently, I have been finding this photo all over the blogosphere. While I don't mind it being used, I would really appreciate it if when clicked on, it comes back here to Flickr. Today, I found it being used all by itself on someone's blog, with no track-back. Obviously, it would be considerate if people asked permission first.
The Darien Castle plan. In the distant past, Tyree men were warriors fighting to protect their families, and building fortresses as places of security.
I've finally found where this magical staircase came from!

The delightfully eccentric gardens of Roseburg are founded on the remains of a 16th century castle, occupying a limestone ridge in foothills of the Harz. The site was acquired in 1905 by the architect Bernhard Sehring (1855-1941), who began to turn it into a true folly loosely modeled as a mock medieval fortification including turrets, drawbridges and 1600 meters of perimeter wall with embrasures. Later additions expanded the gardens across the site, were elements of renaissance, mannerist, baroque and landscape garden styles are mixed at will and combined with art deco architectural gestures. A belvedere tower, with an open air library and mausoleum grotto, is placed at the top of the site, forming the offset for a 100 meter terraced water axis or catena d’aqua, concluding in a raised plateau overlooking the countryside. A wealth of sculpture (including an army of putti) and architecture is found everywhere in the garden, which surprises at every turn and appears much larger than it actually is. This is a truly unique layout, reminiscent only of equally spleeny endeavors such as Gabrielle d’Annunzios ‘Il Vittoriale’ on Lago Garda , Dr. Peyrons villa in Fiesole , or Sir Clough Williams-Ellis’ Portmeiron on the Welsh coast.
This weekend me and some urbex-buddies went to Chateau de Noisy, Celles, Belgium. It is one of the most beautiful urbex-locations in Europe. An old castle, build in 1866, and now falling apart completely. The owner has no money to restore it.... Too bad for the castle, great for photographers. I wrote a blog about this day (in Dutch). You can find it here: floortje69.hyves.nl/blog/21292742/Urbex_Once_Again/NbBt/ Enjoy the series...

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has suggested that Adolf Hitler never would have ordered the murder of...
