7Bojnice Castle, Slovakia
Bojnice Castle’s origins began with a no-fuss wooden stronghold, only to be transformed into an incredibly elegant Slovakian castle. The castle underwent several changes to meet the preferences of successive rulers, particularly Count Janos Ferenc Palffy. The Count was majorly influenced by French Castles in Loire, and heavily embellished Bojnice with vast artistic collections, antiques and vibrant tapestries. The Gothic cum Renaissance structure today radiates a surreal, fairy-tale like elegance, while also being a popular museum and cultural festival venue.
You forgot Castle De Haar of the Rothschild Family.
( Citadel of Aleppo) considered to be one of the oldest and largest castles in the world.
Thanks for reading!
I think that castle simply did not make the cut off. But thanks for your comment and thanks for reading my stuff.
You should have included Trakai Island, Teutonic castle on Lake Galve, Lithuania. It is far more breath taking and impressive than castles on this list like Bodiam Castle, and both castles are “island” castles.

Hello!
Unfortunately we did not poll readers for this particular article. Your choice does sound familiar though so chances are it was on the list but did not make it into this particular “top 10.”

Have been to Sant Mount Michel. Breathtaking. Would like to revisit. Know I would discover much I didn’t see first time.
We all understand that thought!
Thanks for the comment and your support!
I must add Neuschwanstein Castle to my bucket list as something to do in Germany. Thanks so much for sharing
