I’ve been putting together a presentation with photographs of castles for my photo club. As I was going through my pictures, it struck me that they might make a fun blog post. So here are a select few of the photos from my presentation.
The first photo above shows Eilean
Donan, located in the Scottish Highlands. It has been used as the location for
a number of movies and television shows, although nothing was filming when
Roland and I visited it in 2019.
The photo below shows Dunvegan Castle
on the Isle of Skye, which we saw on that same trip.
In 2023, we traveled to Ireland, where we visited Kylemore Abbey and Kilkenny Castle, respectively.
The greatest riches came from our cruise on the Danube and Rhine Rivers in 2015. This one is Hinterhaus Castle along the Danube in Austria.
The second photo at the top of this page is Marksburg Castle, one of many along the Rhine. The following images show other castles along the same stretch of the Rhine River Valley, which has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In order from south to north (or more northwest), the photos below show Furstenberg Castle, Schoenburg Castle, Katz Castle, Maus Castle, and Stolzenfels Castle.
Finally, here is Golubac Fortress in Serbia, taken during a 2024 cruise.
I hope you enjoyed this castle tour.
Maybe it will even inspire you to see some for yourselves.
