Germany: Lichtenstein Castle

Today I got five postcards: one from Germany, one from Australia, two from Belgium and my first card from Colombia.

The card from Germany shows the Lichtenstein Castle in Baden-Württemberg. Lichtenstein Castle was built between 1840 and 1842 at the behest of Duke Wilhelm of Urach, who was inspired by a novel of Wilhelm Hauff. It was built by Carl Alexander Heideloff in the style of the Historicism. Today it is known as fairytale castle of Württemberg.
