Burg Frankenstein, Hessen
One of my all time favorite places~
Burg Frankenstein is mostly a ruin, but the chapel and tower have been mostly restored. Although the name is associated with the old monster, I found this place to be the most serene and peaceful place; if given the opportunity I would return there again and again. The two times I visited, the grounds were virtually empty and you are free to wander all about the ruins and the grounds.
There is a modern restaurant built on the grounds, but it did not detract from the feeling of walking into another place in time.
