I just love the wonderful medieval constructions that we are so lucky to have in particularly northern and western Europe. I know what you mean about the eeriness of the places though, they always seem the perfect hangout for a few unrestful spirits...
Absolutely, you're soo right! LOL It IS spooky there, would be interesting to be there after nightfall! LOL

In previous centuries, there lived some very bad guys in Hanstein Castle; robber knights, as the legend goes... And in fact there's a dungeon which isn't much more than a deep black pit in the ground, and a torture chamber where you can still see some of their instruments.
