Ludwig II, the builder of the the medieval copy-castle of Neuschwanstein, was a useless spendthrift. In 1871, he sold his kingdom to the Prussians for the Guelph Treasure the Prussians had robbed only a few years before, and he kept all the wealth to himself and did absolutely nothing to improve the dire economic situation of his subjects. At that day and age, Bavaria was the poorhouse of Europe. And yet in Bavaria he has an unswerving following of admirers even to this day. People need their icons, I guess, no matter how hollow and phony they are.

Europe is overpopulated just like the rest of the Europe. The main beauty of a country is its natural, unspoiled nature, but when all you see is buildings after buildings, it becomes too much, if most of the Europe and all the other countries were unspoiled nature, imagine how beautiful it would have been? I think our planet was more beautiful hundreds of years ago. Now there are too many people and buildings everywhere, Ahhhh too bad, selfish people keep bringing too many kids, they have destroyed the beauty of our planet, imagine the future?

Okay, I've been to Bran and Tower of London but didn't go in, though I did go inside Alhambra, Neuschwanstein and Prague Castle. Out of those I was told by my brother that Bran isn't really that worth it and in my own opinion, Neuschwanstein isn't either - what's usually not mentioned is that it was never finished and on the inside it's largely still just an empty shell.

No fair competition. Neuschwanstein is a fake castle built at end of 1800 by Ludwid II of Bavaria. It is beautiful but not born a real purpose Defence Castle as the other ones, neither an ancient castle modified to became a palace. It should compete with Kings Palaces and Villas not with other Castles.

Edinburgh Castle is iconic but Stirling Castle is better than Edinburgh Castle. Also in Scotland you can find the stunning Holyrood Palace, Linlithgow Palace, Scone Palace, Dunnottar Castle, Crathes Castle, Castle Urquhart, Dunrobin Castle and Eilean Donan Castle. Yeh, we've got quite alot of castles: P

IDK, Pena palace was a disappointment in person. It's actually not that old, and reminds me of an amusement park version of a castle. I'd say like Disneyland, but Disney looked much better. That and even though it is expensive to get in, it was kind of in disrepair 3 years ago,

I wouldnt call Edinburgh Castle sumptuous, its actually rather austere and bleak. A better choice would have been Windsor Castle, the worlds oldest continuously inhabited castle.

No Marienburg/Malbork? Only the largest brick castle in the world? And the history behind it? By excluding it you invalidate the whole list. Seriously: (
