Lichtenstein Castle at the edge of the Swabian Alps on Vimeo

Lichtenstein Castle is a historicist castle built in the 19th century. It is located at the edge of the Swabian Alps, 817 metres above sea level.

Inspired by Wilhelm Hauff’s novel “Lichtenstein” Count Wilhelm of Württemberg had it built in 1840-42. The site around the neo-Gothic castle is composed of other buildings from the 19th century, a chapel, an ample garden and the romantic courtyard. In the bedchambers of the count the opulent grandeur of late romanticism’s domestic culture appears at its best.

Built to pay homage to medieval times, Lichtenstein Castle is also known as “Württemberg´s fairytale castle” as it adheres to romanticism in style and furnishing

Kind of fun video. Good music choice. One of the shots seemed to be a dolly move. Would be cool to include more like that to match the pace of the music with shrubs or something in the foreground moving quickly while the castle is in focus behind.

Very cool location.
