Castle? This is Neuswanstein Castle, and I am proud to say I have been there.

The home of the loony king who thought he was a fairy tale?

Nope, haven't been there. Wish I could see it.

Didn't the guy who had it built want it torn down after he died and after he died the people were like, "yeah right".

I've been there as well. It's a worthy trip for anybody visiting Austria or southern Germany.

Even though it's only from the late nineteenth century, so it isn't really an old historical castle like most of the freaking hundreds you see on a European vacation, it looks fucking badass, and that has to count for something.

Actually, I think Windsor's nicer.

Good looking indeed. The landscape makes for most of the impression. And the castle has some sort of fantasy look.

Ooh, ooh! For the cookie, you're quoting the great Eddie Izzard and his Dress to Kill performance.

And Windsor's all right...but it isn't on top of a mountain, and it doesn't have a room inside that's made to look like the inside of a cave, so that the King could sit inside and pretend to be a gnome or something. Plus, those dorky Royal Guards piss me off.

You've clearly never walked up Eton Hill

Neuschwanstein is the ultimate in pretentious kitsch. And was designed by a wacko. And lies in Bavaria.

So, you see, it is teh evil!!

Isn't that where King Roland and Princess Vespa lived?

I've been there. I was disappointed. From the outside it looked absolutely gorgeous. But the inside was pretty spartan.

Bah, this has you beaten:

It may not have much in the way of beauty, but it has quite a lot in the way of SIZE.

Have a very nice day.

What the hell do you mean, not much in the way of beauty? Maybe not the same way as Neuswanstein, but still...

Not St. Basil's Cathedral, the Kremlin. It's just a bunch of walls with some old Cathedrals in it. And Soviet-era stuff.

Have a very nice day.

If you want to see Mother Russia's answer to that castle, look no further.

The story of the Red Army. Quantity over quality. Every battle they ever won was won through sheer weight of numbers.

Yes, but they still won those battles.

It wasn't many, and the victories were generally what are known as Pyrrhic.

Those victories left scars that can still be seen today.
