The walls are lined with natural wood of precious noble breeds, the ceilings are painted with amazing patterns, the massive and majestic columns are made of marble ... It all looks really rich and tasteful. And exquisite drapery and coffered ceilings completes the chic interior. Needless to say, the Hohenzollern castle is the real pearl of all Prussia.
Hohenzollern has become incredibly popular withtourists, and among the locals too. Today, about 300 thousand people go to these places annually. By the way, for 12 years the castle was closed for visits - from 1978 to 1990. The fact is that then there was a strong earthquake, and the structure suffered. But today it still stands majestically on a hill.

Hohenzollern Castle (Germany) stands on the secondplace among the most beautiful buildings of the country, and the first is Neunschwanstein.
