Its architecture is a bit repetitive,i.e., has not varieties, all the towers are alike.<br />About Chillon I may say that it inner is not like Versailles. I could say that it is very simple, "military", "spartan", but the architecture is superb and the environment is really wonderful. It's worth a visit, no doubt.<br />RonaldoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8109120578334690607.post-58225365554388523022013-05-23T21:51:20.793+02:002013-05-23T21:51:20.793+02:00Hello, thank you for your comment!

For some reason, Chillon has never captured my imagionation as it does for many others. Chambord looks a bit hostile and lacks elegance in my opinion.<br /><br />Of course, there are great chances the list will be completely different when I actually see those I haven't visited yet :)LaMixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18001280037142000870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8109120578334690607.post-37500256730313624112013-05-15T00:15:22.964+02:002013-05-15T00:15:22.964+02:00My e-mail address is pollis@cnen.gov.brMy e-mail address is pollis@cnen.gov.brAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8109120578334690607.post-53096183235243591722013-05-15T00:13:37.858+02:002013-05-15T00:13:37.858+02:00Hi,I'm a Brazilian Engineer.
Since I love the ...Hi,I'm a Brazilian Engineer.<br />Since I love the architecture of medieval castles,I congratulate you for your choice of these 15 castles. Some of them are also my favorites like Neuschwanstein (the number one - "hors concurs"), Hohenzollern, Segovia, Peles,Hunedoara (Corvilinor), etc.<br />But between my favourites are also some castles that I think you should consider to include in your tops, because they possess all (or almost all) the features you pointed as required to be a fairy tale castle. They are:<br />- Burg Eltz;<br />- Oberhofen;<br />- Pierrefonds;<br />- Chillon;<br />- Yvoire;<br />- Nantes;<br />- Vufflens;<br />- Chenonceau.<br />If you have not evaluated them yet, please, look for their images on the web to check if you agree with me or not. If you want I may send you some lovely fotos of them. And there are many others, like Chambord, that I don't know if they meet those requirements to be FTC.<br />Best Regards,<br />R.
