Tour of One of the Most Spectacular Castles in Germany: Drachenburg

[@patriciapalmer1377]

Isn't she a terrific guide ? She has a wonderful voice. The castle is amazing, very Germanic, with the mythological art and dark woods.

[@teddybear3552]

I agree, she is wonderful! So knowledgeable and nice!

[@danduarte7010]

Great building...but must have some heating bill.

[@Doctordoompapito]

She's sexy. ❤

[@maguffintop2596]

Her English is superb! Excellent guide!

[@carolweaver3269]

She explains everything wth enthusiasm and tells a story about each room and people within history as though she actually knew them. Lovely tour guide of this castle.

[@riverc6638]

I wish they had tour guides like this at Neuschwanstein! For such a famous structure, they quickly bustle you from room to room giving very little history or insight. This lady was wonderful

[@marshawargo7238]

You Are A Delightful Tour Hostess! Very enthusiastic about deporting your wisdom about the subject! Never revealing "it's just a job" attitude. I Love the building, Love the tour!🌹

[@teddybear3552]

Beautiful words Marsha! I agree 100% I wish I had a large company, I would put her in charge of Public Relations! (LOL)

[@kazukochi9942]

Mrs. Schulte Wien is an outstanding guide, one of the best in Germany for sure!

[@teddybear3552]

What an adorable woman! I think that the word that would best describe her is "bubbly". She is so enthusiastic and nice, you can tell she loves her work! I wish there were more people like her. This is one of the nicest videos I ever watched. Great work! Congratulations!

[@merryhill4790]

Agreed.

[@Engelhafen]

Thank you to all who have worked to restore this beautiful castle. Great job

[@stevehinnenkamp5625]

Love this lady. She is a wonderful narrator, hostess.😊 Besides knowing facts, she clearly has affection for this magnificent castle.

[@wixom01]

Wow, what a beautiful place. It's not like visiting a museum. The entire castle IS the museum.

[@janparker6724]

Charming castle and presenter, it's nice to see an old house kept so well, I love the dark wood.

[@totallydomestic433]

Thank you for this tour. It is apparent you are very knowledge. The place is beautiful.

[@BatchelderPatrick]

Stunning. The tour guide was excellent.

[@mimamo]

The tour guide's name is "Walburga". What an epic name! I can hear Richard Wagner blasting in the distance.

[@manita2653]

Thank you for this lovely tour of Drachenburg Castle, Walburga Schulte Wien. Your story telling was fun and most intriguing. The detail throughout the areas shown is very impressive. The noble lady's room and her companion's are charming. The gentleman's rooms reminded me of my great Uncle and Great Aunt's home in Miraflores, Lima, Peru. They were brother and sister. They never married. Their house was very much in the Victorian/Republican period. The formal living/reception room was always very dark, except when they were having a function. It was decorated very much in the style shown here. There was a room where games like Canasta, Bridge, Casino, and several other card games were played. There was a stunning fig tree growing in the middle of the terraced garden. The fig tree was my hiding place, i spent many days inventing wonderful stories and adventures. I remember a large leopard rug...as I passed the dark room, I would run as I swore the leopards eyes were looking at me, and his huge mouth showing gigantic pointed teeth appeared most menacing. Oh, those were fabulous times. Thank you again for bringing me back to long ago adventures in my happy place. I hope you are able to show the kitchen and other rooms in the future. Be safe. Blessings.

[@MessedUpZucchini]

Lovely Architecture! The arches and pillars, and the deer statues in the gardens! Just beautiful. And the tour guide did such a lovely job 🤍 I found myself listening so eagerly to the stories and history of each room. Simply, wonderful.

[@kucamihajlov7953]

Šteta što nema prevoda, da bi i mi znali o čemu tako lepo priča. Čitam komentare, da bih po nešto saznala. 😀😃

[@Renould2010]

Gorgeous Home, Certainly would Love to Build a Magical Castle some day., Great data, on this Castle., 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👑💎.

[@williamstringer6519]

What a charming lady. The tour of the castle was a joy. It illustrated for me the wealth of hidden treasures to be discovered in Europe.

[@carriebtc]

The 'Castle', ok looking, the tour guide, amazing! So entertaining, charming, and engaging. She should be a storyteller. A true bard. Thank you for the grand tour. Cheers

[@bullzdawguk]

OMG! That is my dream to have a dedicated wine room, complete with stained glass windows depicting babies getting drunk! 🤣 Kidding aside, loved the tour and the tour guide, she seems like such a nice lady. The castle is absolutely beautiful. The views are breath-taking. All the rooms are sumptuously decorated. The choice of colours, patterns and styles are flawlessly executed. This makes every room look inviting and comfortable. Truly exceptional.

[@cassandraralph5906]

I found this video to be most interesting and educational! I have always been interested in this particular castle, ever since I saw a photograph of the exterior. I must admit that the rooms are smaller than I expected but then houses and castles were built with very thick walls to help keep them warm during the long winter months! Thank you 😊 💓 ☺️

[@hmvollbanane1259]

It is a 19th century building, so doesn't have that thick of walls. I had the good fortune of having a private tour through some connections and was allowed to literally look "behind the walls". The reason the rooms seem smaller than the exterior is because there are entire hallways and staircases for servants hidden behind them. Every room has hidden doors, often even within the wall paintings, where servants could come out and disappear into without disturbing the inhabitants and their guests. Though since the servant part is not decorated and very functional it is not part of the normal tours as it doesn't really fit into the fairytale aesthetic of the lord's part

[@chris.asi_romeo]

Wonderful 🏰. Love watching castles. They are full of history.

[@Wanamaker1946]

It’s simply gorgeous. When gothic is done right, it just sings.

[@texgal3990]

This castle is spectacular. Unbelievable what they could build and d create back then. And the decorating Is phenomenal Thank you for the tour. I almost felt as if I was right there With you. You do a wonderful Job.

[@chadsimmons6347]

The place was built for 1-man, he probably had a nice mansion in Paris as well, didnt need a woman to mess up life, just making money,,,living the dream.

[@neenalouise2633]

What a beautiful castle. She’s done a fantastic video tour and seems to enjoy telling the history of this place as well. This was very interesting- thank you!

[@teresaoftheandes6279]

Beauty. Thank you. So many of the castles I have seen have a much more cozy & homey appearance than most modern homes.

[@kenboydart]

This gal is a terrific explainer. I think may be the best I’ve ever seen smart, informed, intelligent, cheerful, pleasant voice everything really and I thank her for that.

[@debraan6482]

What a beautiful castle 🏰! I loved the tour. Would loved to see what the towers, kitchen, service areas, and where the staff lived.

[@nitzneymann3977]

The overlooking location and the palace itself is gloriously beautiful. 😮😍

[@guyindiman8701]

I don't think I have ever seen so many turrets in one building. Yummy! You can't have too many turrets!!

[@zabooza74]

Sehr schöne Tour, sympathischer Guide. 😊

[@DavidJones-oc3up]

Great video.Wish I had known about this chateau when I was in this area some years ago. Her historical perspective is really interesting and well told.

This is Neuschwanstein all over again 😂😂 I love it. The world needs more people like this.

[@offwiththefairiesforever2373]

Mesmerising beauty 😍 thankyou for showing the tour for free xx So glad restoration was done ✔ ❤

[@user-tt5xj5ib1e]

Very knowledgable and great tour. It was like being there :) The tour guide was great she needs her own show :) 😍😍😍

[@mirmamaulina9408]

Wonderful. I've been to this castle in 2015 but this video gives a different feelings. I wish I can come back to visit it again and see the details more thoroughly.

[@blackmonday738]

Danke.💙

[@TravelNut72]

Absolutely stunning it's hard to put in words the architecture and the view and all of it !

[@merryhill4790]

Wonderful tour, knowledgeable guide for such a beautiful castle. The history of this castle was presented in such a way that it was very interesting. Thank you so much for the video, it was delightful.

[@BOLLOCKS1968]

Beautiful !! Sometimes I just want to be able to pop through the screen and sit down in these rooms with so much history and look at all their art and portraits, then maybe have a stroll or read a book. Then have a nap in one of the rooms before returning to reality ✌

[@joubertcronje35]

Thanks for your beautiful presentation of this wonderful place. Its a great treasure for your country.

[@albertabrandenburg5027]

Thank for sharing your video of a German castle. Love the design of everything about the castle and its history. I live in Germany with my family we live there twice because of my father was in the army so he took us around Germany to get to know the history of it . Some was happy then some was sad because of what Hitler did to the Jewish people but my father took us around to see many castles and other things like festivals with good German food and beer . No , I was too young to drink Germany beer or wines till I was old enough to drink but that was in the USA at a German restaurant with my husband. I hope to see more of videos of Germany.

[@davidc5191]

A "castle" built around the same time as this one is Schloss Kronberg near Frankfurt. Similar in size, it was the palace for the Empress of Germany at the time. As opposed to Drachenburg, Schloss Kronberg is now a first class hotel, where I stayed some years ago.

Wow! This castle is stunning. Maybe, my wife would like to visit it. This castle & crazy King Ludwig's castle are beautiful.

Absolutely gorgeous. And the stunning views! 🥰

The lady is so charming! ☺

[@JoseMartinez-ch3iw]

You are an AMAZING guide. Your information was on point. Thank you very much 🌿

[@caroljeanscholl7370]

I myself feel little disappointed. I'm almost halfway through and I'm not sure I want to finish. Most of this tour is of the tour guide. So much was passed over as far as the camera footage and imagery. I enjoyed the thorough explanation, However, she did not need to be on camera the whole time she spoke. I'm feeling dissatisfied as to how much we were able to see or actually able to enjoy seeing before the camera was turned back on the tour guide. I think she did a lovely job explaining and telling everything, I just wish the camera person had made better use of the time.

[@SoChateauxTV]

Duly noted dear Carol Jean. I will try to film less the guide/owner and more the decors in the future. It's a recurrent comment (sometimes said in a better way ;)), so I think it makes sense to do it the way you (viewers) want, as these videos are made for you, not for me the camera man. I will change that for my next shootings from March (new ones will be published from April).

[@caroljeanscholl7370]

@@SoChateauxTV I'm glad you understood and hopefully took no offense. Like I said the explanations of it all were absolutely fantastic and the film quality is excellent. I believe it's just the balance of on camera and narrating off-camera. Very much looking forward to your next project.

Happy to see History preserved. I appreciate the curator but it would be better to see the place without her in every shot. If I were there on a real tour I could see the entire place, listen to & acknowledge her while actually being able to see everything. Thanks for sharing!

It's reminds me Neushwanstein in Bavaria on smaller size !

[@lunartears6761]

To think I learned about this while browsing an anime cosplay photo collection on deviantart. I thought the background was photoshopped, but the cosplay group put the names of the locations they shot in, and along with Düsseldorf palace, Drachenburg castle was mentioned so I looked it up, and I’m glad I did.

[@janfaworski5155]

THANK-YOU so much for the great review of the castle! It was MOST enjoyable, especially on how you take your time and explain all the details... you are a professional in every meaning of the word. Hopefully, some say, since my Mother's maiden name is Swartz (God bless her soul) my wife and I'll be able to visit Germany and the beautiful Castle Drachenburg! Mr & Mrs Bowen San Diego CA USA

[@SamIAm-kz4hg]

I would love to see wide shots of all of the rooms, and a proper moving tour. I don't need a close-up of some leaves. I'm not trying to be negative, but I really don't get a sense of the whole place.

[@fotograafGent]

we see way too much the guide and too little details of the castle

[@Jajwo22]

Next time Drachenschanze please

[@jdshaman6448]

Look again. It is an architectural hodgepodge. The building lacks direction. Pan across > Left wing is castle tower, then ridiculous dome, big Ben tower, right wing french chateau. If this building was a written sentence it would be linguistically incomprehensible. You will not agree with me but architects will understand. It is most surprising that it took 30 years to build a relatively small building. Remove tower, side wing and porch> a small building. Style is very nouveau riche and would be best set in America. This article is not meant to upset you. I am just giving an alternative view based on the visual image in front of me.

[@johnvonundzu2170]

I do agree with you. It's the kind of thing that Wilhelmine Germany was well known for; both expensively and badly done. loved the detail of the place having a fake organ, it seems so appropriate.
