The Castle of Meersburg is germany's oldest castle, built in the 7th century and I do mean 7th century, there is no typo there! It sits directly in the town as just another building. It has a guard at the gate in his medieval armor, so of course we had to get a picture with him. We then crossed the drawbridge into the ancient castle, which brought us back to times where there were no glass in the windows and no doors tall enough for Nick. What is really interesting here is that the family still lived in the upper parts of the castle! Imagine that, how many people get to say that they live in an actual castle and a real one that is extremely old at that!
