A huge very colorful book of castles and palaces.Includes sites from all over Europe. Most of the castles featured are newer fancier types,not many old ruins in here.Gorgeous photography with inside pictures as well.Quite a bit of information on each palace is also included. If you like German castles you will love this book.

THE PICTURES ARE BEAUTIFUL, EVERY PAGE IS FILLED WITH COLOR AND BEAUTY FROM THESE BEAUTIFUL STRUCTURES ALL THROUGHOUT EUROPE. MOST OF THE CASTLES AND PALACES SHOWN ARE IN GERMANY OR AUSTRIA, BUT THERE ARE SOOO MANY MORE AS WELL. THE BOOK LITERALLY HAS CASTLES FROM NEARLY EVERY COUNTRY IN EUROPE. PURELY AMAZING.

This review is from: Castles And Palaces of Europe (Hardcover)

I just received this book, and I really enjoy it just with first pages this book is over my expectations, if you really love castles I recommend you this book, my favorite castle is the one that is in the cover "Neuschwanstein" I was looking for a book of that castle and I checked so many books and when my husband found this book and ordered immediately at Amazon the same day and I like to thank Amazon for quickly deliver of my item, and again this book is beautiful so get it and enjoy it.

Best rgds,
