Four castles, four ways to be European

From a Danish king's strongroom to a Bavarian fairy tale.

This site is a small, independent information portal. We are not a travel agency and not a ticket seller, and we are not affiliated with any of the castles, museums or authorities described here. We carry no advertising, set no tracking cookies and collect no personal data.

Each castle has its own page with the essentials — where it is, what it is famous for, when it was built and when you can visit — followed by a short portrait of its history. For tickets and current opening times we always link you onward to the official site of each castle.
