Hohenzollern Castle

About

This ancestral seat of a Prussian family dynasty makes for both a lively and historic stop by and its phenomenal location once prompted Emperor William II to exclaim “The panorama from the Hohenzollern Castle is truly worth a journey”. The family still uses the castle today, and their presence is signaled by the flying of the flag with the family crest. Visitors can tour the plentiful showrooms that reflect the castle’s history, see the actual Prussian Crown and roam around the castle cellars, the casements, the two churches and the tower. What sets this castle apart is its interaction with its visitors who get to see, hear and touch a lot more than is usually on display in many similar properties. Not only are there excellent views for photo opportunities, but there’s a good chance you might snap a selfie with a real life prince and princess whenever they are at home!
