You may look forward to visiting an amazing real-life castle. If you do, here are some good options for you.
Mont-Saint-Michel, France
If you saw Disney’s movie, Tangled, then Mont-Saint-Michel in Normandy would look familiar to you. The castle where the
long-haired princess is kept looks much like the impressive ancient church.
Mont-Saint-Michel is one of France’s most visited historical places, with about 2.5 million tourists having a close look at the impressive medieval(中世纪的) architecture every year.
Catherine Palace, Russia
Many castles stick to natural colors, but not the Catherine Palace. Located about 18 miles south of St. Petersburg, Russia, the palace features a sky blue and white facade (正面) covered with gold. Inside the palace sits the extraordinary Amber Room. Completed in 1770, the room was decorated beautifully with golden carvings and mirrors, and the room had its own caretaker.
Leeds Castle, England
Leeds Castle in Kent, England, rises off islands in the center of a lake as if from a childhood fairy tale. Six of England’s medieval queens once lived here and Henry Ⅷ (1491~1547) transformed it into an impressive palace so he and his first wife, Catherine of Aragon, could visit in true royal luxury. A ticket allows as many visits as one would like in 12 months.
Kylemore Abbey, Ireland
Built as a doctor’s home in 1868, the castle and its walled garden are now home to a community of Benedictine nuns (修女) who make and sell chocolates and other goods. Families are encouraged to visit for the view of the lake, stories of local legends, and performances in the neo-Gothic church.
