This pretty castle can be found at the banks of the river Mosel in West Germany. The Reichsburg Cochem was built around 1000 A.D. and was a medieval defense fortress.

The Nuremberg castle (Nürnberger Burg) in Southern Germany (Middle-Franconia in Bavaria) has been watching over the city for about 1000 years! It was build on a massive sandstone rock. In the panorama picture you can see, that the castle comprises three different parts.

The building on the right side of the picture is now Nuremberg’s youth hostel (= die Jugendherberge [‘di: ‘ju:ɡɘnthɛɐbɛrɡɘ])

Burg Eltz is located near the Moselle river in the West of Germany. It has remained in the posession of the same family for over 800 years.

Another castle in Germany: Burg Stolpen in Saxony, near Dresden. Pretty, huh?

Germany has many beautiful castles. I would like to introduce you to some of them. This one is called Burg Hohenzollern (Hohenzollern Castle) and is located near Stuttgart (South-West of Germany). It is over 600 years old. Doesn’t it look amazing? I would love to visit it!
