If you are planning a trip through Germany\u2014whether it is a weekend getaway, a city break, or a longer road trip\u2014you will sooner or later visit castles, palaces, and perhaps a few other grand historic residences. Buildings like these are among the great highlights of traveling in Germany. What makes things confusing, however, is that the German terms are not always used with complete precision\u2014and the confusion only grows when they are translated into English.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A good example is Neuschwanstein Castle<\/strong>In English it's official name is Neuschwanstein Castle<\/em>, even though it is not a medieval Burg<\/em> , but a 19th century Schloss<\/em> . That alone shows that Burg, Schloss, and Palast<\/em> cannot simply be translated one-to-one into English. So let\u2019s take a closer look at what actually sets them apart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
