Lichtenstein Castle, Germany（德國(guó)利希滕斯坦城堡）

Lichtenstein Castle is situated on a cliff located near Honau in the Swabian Alb, Baden-Württemberg, Germany, at an altitude of 817 meters. Historically there was an old castle present on the site since around 1200. It fell to ruins after being destroyed during the Reichskriegs war of 1311 and by the city-state of Reutlingen in 1381. The current Neo-Gothic-style castle was built by Duke Wilhelm of Urach in 1840-42. Today, the castle is still owned by the Dukes of Urach, but its doors are open to visitors. The castle contains a large collection of historic weapons and armor.
