Hopeless romantic?? ......BAM!...Look no further. This is your Wasserburg...read on..
I have had Wasserburg Anholt on my list for a while. It's located near the border to the Netherlands.I have been searching for THE perfect day where I could go and visit. Well, it finally came, and fulfilled all my expectations and then some! I have to say....this ties with my favorite, and gets a 10/10 rating from me. This is a must see if you are in Germany - perhaps even think about staying overnight there?
Short review: http://www.schloss-anholt.de/
The Wasserburg is split into two sections. One part is the actual residence of the family that owns the Burg (yes someone is still living there!!), and the other side looks to be a really nice hotel, and restaurant.
You can take a tour of the Burg (in German) as well as the Schlosspark. My recommendation is to get the combo ticket as you save some money! On the Burg tour, you learn a lot of interesting things on how the building was constructed - for instance, the main bedroom was built over the kitchen to have heated floors! You go through several rooms, and onto a main art gallery - which houses such art as Rembrandt's Diana Bathing with her Nymphs with Actaeon and Callisto. Afterwards, you can let yourself roam into the Schlosspark. The Schlosspark even has one of those mazes built from bushes! Awesome! It also offers a beautiful sculpture park. It contains a range of trails from short, medium, large - and short cuts. If the weather is perfect - it just adds to the beauty.
Here are some of my pics ...an overview of my fairy tale day...
It's a dream! =)...Definitely consider this for something special!!
~THE END~
