Review & FAQ:
Often called the "fairy tale castle of Württemberg", Schloss Lichtenstein was designed by Carl Alexander Heideloff and built in 1840. While the modern castle that visitors see today was built with inspiration from the novel Liechtenstein, the castle ruins next to it were the original inspiration for the novel itself. The Gothic Revival-style castle is still owned by the Dukes of Urach, but visitors can explore some of the interior with professionally guided tours; the courtyard is open to the general public, letting visitors see the many gun emplacements on the walls.
