Yay...thanks for including a Hungarian castle.     Would love to see more of them (Buda, Vajdahunyad, Füzér, Sárospatak, Eger, Diósgyör, Esztergom, Visegrád, Sümeg).  There are just SO many of them.

Girsberg Castle in France.
Not much remains, but Girsberg Castle is one of the 3, so-called, Ribeauvillé Castles. The others are; St. Ulrich Castle, which is opposite and within viewing distance and Haut-Ribeaupierre Castle, which lies further up the mountain.
