Castle on a cloud

"There is a castle on a cloud.
I like to go there in my sleep."
_Les Miserables

Prague Castle, Czech Republic.
One of the oldest and largest castle complexes in the world — you name the style of architecture, this baby's got it: Baroque, Gothic, Romanesque? Done and DONE.









Peles Castle, Romania.
Located in the Carpathian mountains, it's safe to say the world built this castle. Queen Elisabeth of Romania said, "Italians were masons, Romanians were building terraces, the Gypsies were coolies. Albanians and Greeks worked in stone, Germans and Hungarians were carpenters. Turks were burning brick. Engineers were Polish and the stone carvers were Czech. The Frenchmen were drawing, and the Englishmen were measuring." Talk about a group effort!







Neuschwanstein Castle, Germany.
This beauty was designed by a theatrical set designer, rather than an actual architect. This explains it's stunning location and fanciful feel — only a play-maker and dreamer could have envisioned such a lovely sight.
