Neuschwanstein also inspired composers: it is believed that it was here that Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky first thought about the ballet Swan Lake.

Hohensalzburg Castle, Austria
Another Austrian castle is inscribed in the urban landscape of Salzburg. From the height of the medieval walls, the whole city is in full view, with its numerous spiers, domes and seemingly toy houses. A little further, you can see the same Salzach River, dividing Salzburg into two parts. By the way, when you come down from the castle, don’t forget to visit Mozart, because his house is located very close!

Kalmar Castle, Sweden
Kronborg's Swedish rival, Kalmar , in turn, haunted the Danes. However, it did not work out to fortify it in the same confusing way, so you can't really walk around the territory of the fortress. On the other hand, compactness gives it an amazing atmosphere of comfort. But if you wish, you can “take a walk” around the town of Kalmar, which is considered one of the oldest in Sweden.

Kronborg Castle, Denmark
The Danish castle looks much more positive and more whole than its Western counterparts. Towering over the waters of the Baltic, Kronborg has always been a temptation for its Swedish neighbors, so it was built as an intricate defensive structure with a castle in the center. In addition to military purposes, the citadel also received a romantic role, becoming the scene of the play by William Shakespeare «Hamlet». Since then, the piece has been staged in the castle every summer.

Rock of Cashel, Ireland
Slightly better preserved is the castle on the Cashel rock , where the residence of the Irish kings, and then the bishops, was once. However, after the arrival of the British, this place acquired a sad reputation. The locals sought refuge in the castle Cathedral, but found their death there. Since then, their souls wander around the walls of the temple and move in shadows between the Celtic crosses of the castle cemetery.
