“<\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em>A spectacular UNESCO-listed gem in the middle of nowhere! The castle itself is full of rococo art, and the gardens and forest nearby are like something out of a fairy tale.” <\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em>
– <\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em>Guilherme, Brazil<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Augustusburg Castle<\/a> has a rich history dating all the way back to 1568, when construction started on this true hidden gem. Known as the “Crown of the Ore Mountains”, it may not have the instant name recognition of some of its more famous counterparts, but it is indisputably one of the most beautiful Renaissance castles in Central Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visitors to this imposing castle will instantly understand why it\u2019s considered one of the best attractions in Germany despite its relatively rural location (bonus points to anyone who can point Br\u00fchl out on a map); with 16th-century murals, a museum devoted to animals and birds, historical weapons and furniture, and an authentic dungeon, Augustusburg Castle provides an invaluable insight into the lives of the aristocracy throughout German history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking of hidden and unexpected gems, the castle also has a surprisingly comprehensive motorcycle museum! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
