German Castles

[Shades2585]

Well I was trying to find the name of the ruin castle(?) that I used to live by in Germany and ran across this.

I though my Queen, Petra and a few others might find it interesting.

Still haven't found it's name yet but I'm still looking.

I love this thread.


Where in Germany did you live? I might be able to help.

I noticed some of my favourites weren't on the list.

Burg Hohenzollern

And Schloss Ortenburg

More to come as I find good pictures.

Seems to be a more complete list.

I lived in Godelhausen next to Theisbergstegen of which the ruins are above.

Does anyone know if they used an actual German castle in Gabriel Knight 2?

I think so, I forget the name of it though

Neuschwanstein. It's in Bavaria and was built by Ludwig II, who also built Linderhof and added to Herrenchiemsee and has very nice Baroque interiors.

Oh cool, thanks Del!

I had it as my avatar on the forum not too long ago!

Indeed.

Most of the themes are mythological and Wagnerian, especially focusing on the Knights of the Swan and the Order of the Fleece and the Ludwigsorden (having been a knight of both orders of chivalry). The throne room is Byzantine in style anyway and there is indeed a grotto.

You can take quite a nice tour of it here.
