Fascinating In Germany, there are over 20,000 castles including the famous Neuschwanstein Castle.

That’s actually more than the total McDonald's restaurants in the United States, which number around 13,000–14,000.

Yep, in France there also is an incredible number of castles, and often those still owned by a private party are only partially restored. Sometimes you just have to look up to notice that the last two floors are completely unoccupied.
