Guten tag und Herzlich Willkommen.
These website links are for castles in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Tyrol, and a few other locations. These castle web links are provided on this page to educate, inform, entertain, and help you in your search for knowledge.

For the medieval castle seekers, we have several good castle links for you to explore.
There are over 24,000 castles in Germany today; some are only ruins, but many of them are well-preserved and home to families, museums, restaurants and even hotels.
So why are there so many castles in Germany today?
During the Middle Ages, the land area that was to become Germany today, was a land that was divided into many small, competitive feudal states and principalities. This period of time was wrought with wars and conflict and these unstable times encouraged the construction of secure and fortified castles through out Germany, former German States, and areas settled by Germans. Plus there are many more medieval castle to explore and perhaps study, in Austria, Switzerland, Tyrol, and Northern Italy.
