I've always wanted to visit Germany for a few reasons. One reason is to see where my ancestors came from and the other reason is to site see. Clip: The legendary creation of the castle is attributed to Count Ludwig der Springer. End Clip [iii]The location of the Castle is Clip: overlooking the town of Eisenach, in the state of Thuringia, Germany End Clip. [i] The Castle was founded by Duke Ludwig in the year 1067 AD. Today Wartburg Castle is Clip: a regional museum. Wartburg Castle was named a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1999… End Clip [ii] I would say that after researching the two topics that the Wartburg Castle got my interest the most. The history of it really interested me and the pictures also caught my attention.
