    These are beautiful pictures of wonderful-looking places. I love the sky backdrop in the first , and I especially love the last one: where is it?

    • Charming Trinity May 11, 2012 at 9:34 AM #

      I am very happy you enjoyed the photos. The last one is the Taranto Castle (also known as the Castle Sant’Angelo) in Italy.

    Wow, they are some awesome castles!

    Wow, awesome castles!

    Glad not to have the maintenance issues, especially dampness. What complexities were overcome to create such magnificent structures in the day! I remain completely impressed. ;-)

    thanks for visiting my blog. I will need a lot of time to read all your nice posts on your blog, but I am sure I will find it.

    They certainly knew how to build castles back then. They are fantastic photos.

    Thanks for stopping by my blog.

    Every one a cover for a child’s book

    So very cool……good job!

  12. bulldogsturf May 22, 2012 at 6:29 AM #

    Damn, these are stunning, more please……

    I have a wish to stay a night at a castle; someday I will!
    Lovely photos.

  14. Leanne Cole May 22, 2012 at 7:06 PM #

    I have seen that first Castle so many times, but usually it is in lots of pieces and we have to put it together, we have two jigsaw puzzles with it.

  15. swift soul May 23, 2012 at 10:52 AM #

    I fancy living in the bottom one …

  16. Patricia May 23, 2012 at 8:15 PM #

    These photos are beyond beautiful!

  17. The World Is My Cuttlefish May 24, 2012 at 2:40 AM #

    Fairytale indeed. Tales are generally illustrated with the first variety of castle now, following Disney’s take-up of the stories, though as a child I read stories with castle with crenellations rather than turrets.

  18. lulu May 24, 2012 at 7:32 AM #

    I wouldn’t like to clean those places, but it would be fun to live out my princess fantasy there. BTW, did you take the photos? They’re are something!

    • Charming Trinity May 24, 2012 at 7:39 AM #

      You are right, cleaning those places would not be my kind of fantasy either. I did not take these photos. Please click on each one of them to go to the author’s page.

    Love castles. Brilliant work.

  20. loosygoosey May 24, 2012 at 8:26 AM #

    amazing!

  21. Jim Norwood May 24, 2012 at 9:30 PM #

    Great work.

  22. Donna's Garden May 25, 2012 at 10:06 AM #

    Thanks so much for visiting my blog. I’m not an experienced photographer (that should be obvious) but I do enjoy sharing my garden. Come back anytime.

    • Charming Trinity May 25, 2012 at 10:13 AM #

      Of course, I will! I am dreaming of a garden, but for now, I have to settle for photos.

  23. maddiesplace May 25, 2012 at 10:31 AM #

    hey there! I am going to be leaving maddiesplace soon. Hope to catch up with you at palmtreesandlemonade.com Same everything, just new name. Thanks for all your support! Have a great weekend. :)

    great photos. We love castles! Have you photographed any in Provence?

    • Charming Trinity May 25, 2012 at 2:13 PM #

      These are not my photos. Please click on each one of them to get to the author.

      • blisstravelsnews May 28, 2012 at 8:29 AM #

        oh, i misunderstood. Thank you for clarifying.

  25. Cumby May 26, 2012 at 12:46 PM #

    Shared your post on my FB page! Nice pictures and theme for your blog. I understand that they are not yours – good blog post!

    • Charming Trinity May 26, 2012 at 1:01 PM #

      Thank you for the visit and for the lovely comment. My only intention is to share these amazing images with as many people as possible, to spread the joy and the good feelings they bring me.

  26. The Cloud Chronicler May 26, 2012 at 9:06 PM #

    I like the first castle the best. It looks so much like those in the Disney movies. ^^

  27. sustainabilitea May 27, 2012 at 5:19 PM #

    Glad you stopped by for some virtual apple cake today, so that I could go castle-visiting with you in return!! I was at the “Disney” castle many years go. It’s magnificent. Wales has some beautiful castles as well.

    • Charming Trinity May 27, 2012 at 5:24 PM #

      Your apple pie looked delicious! I will have to go to Wales (virtually, for now) to see those castles and I also plan to try out the apple pie recipe. Thank you for the visit!

      • sustainabilitea May 27, 2012 at 5:40 PM #

        My pleasure. The apple creation is a cake, even easier than a pie to make, and wonderful. I’m looking forward to trying more from the cookbook. We could visit Wales virtually and have a virtual picnic with apple cake for dessert. But since it’s a German apple cake, maybe the Rhine area would be more appropriate. :-)

  28. simplycessie May 28, 2012 at 9:43 PM #

    oh wow! really wonderful pics here.

  29. ohliviac May 29, 2012 at 1:45 AM #

    Just gorgeous !

  30. Zac The All Black May 30, 2012 at 7:34 AM #

    I love the symmetry of the centre castle. Stunning buildings.

  31. offthefrontporch May 30, 2012 at 2:33 PM #

    all so different, all so beautiful. I’d love to see a follow up fairy tale post on little cottages in the woods. :)

    • Charming Trinity May 30, 2012 at 3:24 PM #

      There is a pretty nice little-big cottage in the post “Mountain Houses” (middle image)….might not be exactly IT, but it comes pretty close to a fairy tale cottage in my opinion, a luxury fairy tale that is. Thank you for the suggestion though, I will put it on my list!

  32. Rhonda Sittig May 30, 2012 at 10:01 PM #

    Where are these castles? So beautiful…

    • Charming Trinity May 30, 2012 at 10:13 PM #

      The first one (Neuschwanstein Castle) is in Germany, the second one (Chambor Castle) is in France and the last one (Taranto Castle) is in Italy.

  33. Pit May 31, 2012 at 8:41 AM #

    Great pictures, and truly lovely castles.
    Best regards,
    Pit

  34. Pit May 31, 2012 at 8:42 AM #

    P.S.: Burg Eltz in Germany might be another one to add to the list of “fairy-tale castles”.

    • Charming Trinity May 31, 2012 at 9:12 AM #

      Thank you for the suggestion. I will have to look it up.

      Daniela.

  35. craftymemories May 31, 2012 at 12:22 PM #

    Hiya! Thanks for stopping by and liking my post Garden in the City. Did you visit this castle in Germany? I would love to see it in person since we live in Frankfurt now. :)

  36. kirsty May 31, 2012 at 4:38 PM #

    really beautiful pictures, I would really like to visit some of those castles

    Hi, thanks for liking my post. My name is Samuel L. Collins and I’m 14 years old. I star in http://www.searchforbiblicaltruths.com; an adventure, travel, indiana jones type of show. I”d love to film in the Castles you have photographed. Where are they? Sam

    • Charming Trinity June 2, 2012 at 1:40 PM #

      Hi Sam,

      Thank you for stopping by!
      To answer your question, the first one (Neuschwanstein Castle) is in Germany, the second one (Chambor Castle) is in France and the last one (Taranto Castle) is in Italy.

    Gorgeous– but I’m glad I don’t have to mow that lawn or clean that swimming pool… : )

  41. debbiejohnsonartist June 4, 2012 at 4:44 PM #

    Beautiful photos!

  42. made.in.transylvania June 5, 2012 at 3:22 PM #

    wow, epic castles. we’ve got some beautiful castles in Romania. Not so much fairly tale though, more darculaesque…
    anyway, thanks for the like, looking forward to checking out your blog.

    • Charming Trinity June 5, 2012 at 3:33 PM #

      Ohhh, I know those castles very well! :-) I am a Transylvanian girl myself.

  43. babso2you June 5, 2012 at 8:40 PM #

    All of them absolutely lovely! Do you know if any of the families that own these places are looking to adopt? I am available for that if you happen to have an in! Thank you for the like on my blog! Come back and visit again soon!

  44. Teri Karl June 6, 2012 at 1:18 PM #

    That first one looks like Neuschwanstein! I have a poster of it by my stairs.

  45. coville123 June 6, 2012 at 5:43 PM #

    Absolutely beautiful pictures! Makes you want to go there.

  46. Slash Fitter June 8, 2012 at 8:28 AM #

    Wonderful choices! I have visited the first two, Neuschweinstein in Bavaria and Chambor in France. They truly are magnificent! Romania has some pretty awesome landmarks and castles, maybe you’ll check them out some time. :)
    Fabulous blog!

    • Charming Trinity June 8, 2012 at 9:11 AM #

      Thank you for the lovely comment! I know Romanian castles very well and love them dearly given that I grew up there. :-)

    The Italian castle will do for my summer dwelling.
