I was at Schloss Seehof near Bamberg today.
Inside, the rooms are fully designed. Walls with floral paintings, birds, and patterns that stretch across large areas. Not just individual pictures, but entire walls, even in the corners and between the wooden paneling.
In addition, the furniture, chandeliers, and ceilings. You look around and constantly discover new details.
Individual pieces of furniture from the castle are now part of the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
Everything feels very carefully made and harmonized.
The tour was very nice.
Outside, the garden, paths, individual figures, and open spaces. Overall, very peaceful and harmonious.
Do you know of any other places in Germany that have surprised you positively?

Parc Sanssouci in Potsdam. Every time you turn a corner in the gardens there’s another beautiful building.
Asam church in Munich. A friend of mine said Id have to take a look at it during my first step to Munich without going into detail. So I stepped in without expecting anything. It totally blew me away how pretty it is while looking rather plain from the outside
Oh wow that looks amazing.
I love the Style of this Castle and the painting on the Walls and the roof.
Really fascinating.😍
Eremitage in Bayreuth
I haven’t been there in over a decade, but the way I rememver it it was quite beautiful.
There are a lot of places like this. But since i grew up with them, i was never really impressed. I would go to a bookstore and ask for a guidebook, they should have sth like that.
[Schlösser Brühl](https://www.schlossbruehl.de/) I’m there on a somewhat regular basis and I’m always amazed that it’s not run over by tourists. It’s super convenient right next to a trainstation, Köln and Bonn are really close by, the grounds are great for a Sunday stroll and the castles (plural!) are also stunning.
During wedding season a lot of couples will take their wedding pictures outside though, so you might have to compete for a good spot to take pictures.

This place was pretty spectacular and away from the tourist scene.
Völkerschlachtsdenkmal in Leipzig. I knew it from my history book but had no sense for how massive and beautiful it is. Truly impressive in first and second sight.

Die Wieskirche was a pleasant surprise.
Neusweinstein castle is pretty dang neat with a great story to go along with it
Schloss Ehrenburg in Coburg. Inside it is awesome, i did not expect it to be that beautiful.
