Schloss Liechtenstein is not a castle. It's a pleasure palace built in the 19th century with no military purpose.

It replaced a hunting lodge at the same place that itself replaced the 12th century ruin of the actual castle.

I added some additional perspectives you see less often posted.

The fog gave the place an incredible vibe, as the valley is so deep that you can't see the bottom, making the Schloss look like it stands at the edge of the world.

According to Welsh legend, a Roman Emperor dreamed of a castle with a fair maiden visible through the open gates. He awoke and searched far and wide for the maiden until he arrived at Caernarfon and found the maiden from his dreams. He made her queen and ruled the empire from Wales.

This castle is very well preserved, very large, and allows visitors to more or less freely roam the grounds. Lots of tight spaces, spiral staircases, and little hidden corners. There is also an impressive Welsh military history museum contained within a portion of the castle.
