Looking for pictures or plans to buildr a practical/romantic looking/fantasy style castle or storybook cottage. I just can't seen to find the magical looking one that I know will be the one. Any help, be it books or personal designs will be appreciated. Thank you! Crystal Cave

The only fantasy-like castles that I can think of happen to be located in Germany. I know that there are some near Hiedelburg (don't trust the spelling) but I not where any others are. I hope that helps. Knight

The most romantic-fantasy castle of germany is Neuschwanstein. Even Walt Disney used this as a blue-print. It is build in the 19th cent. by Ludwig von Bayern, the last romantic monarch, who build more neo-classical buildings.

Or Castell Coch http://www.castlewales.com/coch.html Wlliam Burges's fantasy castle just outside Cardiff.------------------ Neurotics build castles in the air, psychotics live in them, Psychiatrists charge the rent, art therapists do the interior design and nurses clean out the garderobes!
