Pfalzgrafenstein Castle in Germany



Pfalzgrafenstein was built in a rock situated in the middle of the Rhine river. This castle was built by Ludwig for the purpose of collecting custom duties from the boats passing through the river.

This castle's architecture ressembles a ship as it was a "floating stronghold" so Ludwig wanted it to look pretty much like a ship.
