It still stands today, a huge sprawling fortress, watching the river as if a massive stone giant.
And if all that isn't cool enough, it has one of the world's largest beer barrels.

Heidelberg
Heidelberg Castle overlooks the town of Heidelberg and guards the passage of the Neckar River. A castle was first built upon the river in and around 1214. It slowly expanded over the centuries to include a second castle, bastions to link them, gigantic towers, and deep dungeons. For almost a thousand years it has persevered, through terrible storms that destroyed its main towers, wars, sieges, neglect and time.
It still stands today, a huge sprawling fortress, watching the river as if a massive stone giant.
And if all that isn't cool enough, it has one of the world's largest beer barrels.
