Neuschwanstein: Facts and Mystery of the Fairtale castle
Neuschwanstein castle is a German castle built in the late 1800s with a mystery still remaining. The sightseeing spot has become famous not only because of the amazing architecture of the castle and the scenic area of Bavaria in which it sits, but in equal measure because of king Ludwig II who built it and his mysterious death.
In this video I will run through it construction, history and the life of the Ludwig II, giving you the basic facts in a sequential story form format.

    As a child in America growing up during the Cold War, it was always a distant dream of mine to some day walk through the Brandenburg Gate. When I first visited Berlin in 2000, I was finally able to walk through the Gate, but as it was shrouded in scaffolding for the renovation mentioned in the video, I couldn’t actually see it or touch it. Now I live in Berlin, and the Gate takes my breath away every time I see it. There is something indescribable about the Brandenburg Gate that draws people to it.
