This is where the story gets interesting. This castle was built by the third kaiser of Germany which is separated from the first Kaiser by a year, since the second one only reigned for 99 days before he died of cancer. The problem is, that this castle is huge and its owner was crazy, Kaiser Wilhelm III. He wanted a castle more extravagant than his father's, so he made it higher and absolutely huge. In fact it had 19 bedrooms and slew of other useless things. In fact, for a time they had to stop building it because they ran out of money. The Kaiser had made the German treasurey broke building it. For this and many other reasons involving world politics, he was considered absolutely nuts, literally. This was the last Monarchy of the modern state of Germany. As Germany was brought into WWI.
