Mutuals as places: part two

@petitecle - Neuschwanstein Castle, Germany

“Nestled among the breathtaking beauty of the Bavarian Alps, this fairy-tale castle served as the inspiration behind Walt Disney’s Sleeping Beauty Castle. Constructed in the late 1800s, Neuschwanstein was created as a fanciful retreat for Ludwig II of Bavaria. Dazzling chandeliers and beautiful paintings adorn every room in the castle while the third floor is devoted to Ludwig’s fascination of swan scenes from operas by the famous composer Richard Wagner, whom Ludwig deeply admired”.

@saccarinee - Palace of Versailles, France

“Notable especially for the ceremonial Hall of Mirrors, the jewel-like Royal Opera, and the royal apartments; for the more intimate royal residences, the Grand Trianon and Petit Trianon located within the park; the small rustic Hameau (Hamlet) created for Marie Antoinette; and the vast Gardens of Versailles with fountains, canals, and geometric flower beds and groves, laid out by André le Nôtre”.

@seaymphea - The Marble Caves in Patagonia, Chile

“Over more than 6,000 years, lake currents lapped at the marble, slowing carving out the smooth formations you see today. Though the marble itself isn't a brilliant blue, it dances with cerulean displays of color when the water reflects its light. As a result, it changes color throughout the year, depending on water levels and season”.

@senvive - Mafra Palace Library, Portugal

“The Palace itself is a monumental Baroque and Italianized Neoclassical palace-monastery located in Mafra, Portugal, 28 kilometres from Lisbon. Construction began in 1717 and ended in 1755. The wooden Rococo style library bookshelves hold some 36,000 leather-bound volumes dating from the 14th to the 19th centuries”.

@silk-fleur - Chateau de Chantilly, France

“One of the finest jewels in the crown of France's cultural heritage. It is the work of a man with an extraordinary destiny: Henri d’Orléans, Duke of Aumale, son of the last King of France, Louis-Philippe. This prince, who is considered to be the greatest collector of his time, made Chantilly the showcase for his countless masterpieces and precious manuscripts”.

@sirenoirs - Melissani Cave, Greece

“In the 1962 excavations, quite a few oil lamps, plates and figures were discovered depicturing the god Pan and several nymphs. Legend has it that the Cave of Melissani was the very spot where one of those Nymphs, Melissanthi (or Melissani), drowned after being rejected by the god Pan”.

@sweet-voiced - Chateau de Gudanes, France

“The enchanting chateau, which overlooks the Midi-Pyrénées, was built in the 18th century on behalf of Louis Gaspard de Sales, the Marquis de Gudanes who was also known as the “King of the Pyrenees”. In 2013, The Waters family began the mission of restoring the Chateau, uncovering mysterious tunnels, ancient artefacts, and even a fresco painting after peeling away some old wallpaper”.

@tulletruffle - Angel Oak, South Carolina

“The fairytale-esque Angel Oak tree in Charleston, SC, is thought to be one of the oldest living organisms east of the Mississippi River (Estimated to be 400-500 years old). It stands 65 feet tall, with an area of 17,000 square feet shaded by its tentacular crown”.
