Malbork Castle is the largest brick building in Europe. Covering 52 acres, it is also the largest b… (View original article)

BAVARIA, Germany, Aug. 1, 2015 – This Bavarian treasure was once more or less an a medieval trade route, but in reality the Romantic Road was created by German tour operators in the 1950s to promote quaint towns and historic castles that link central Germany with the south.

But the third castle, to this day, serves as the private residence and ancestral seat of the imperial house of Hohenzollern, the descendants of German ru… (View original article)

NAGOYA – The Nagoya Municipal Government on Friday took the unusual step of warning tourists that they enter Nagoya Castle’s tower at their own risk due to the building being in danger of collapse in a strong earthquake.

The idea of the warning signs came from Mayor Takashi Kawamura, who is frustrated with a lack … (View original article)
