Step into a fairytale at this magnificent estate in Texas. With its turrets, keep, and fortified walls, this six-bedroom abode resembles a European castle. However, this princely property is actually nestled in the heart of Texas, surrounded by sprawling countryside. The visionary behind this mindboggling estate is architect Terry Young and his wife Kim. Inspired by King Ludwig II’s unfinished castle in Bavaria, the couple embarked on a journey to bring his dream to life in the United States.
Over the course of a decade, the Youngs meticulously constructed Falkenstein Castle using limestone and granite. Now, this stunning property is available for rent on Airbnb at a rate of $1,518 per night. Guests can expect all the luxurious amenities and enchanting details that one would find in a European castle, along with the vast landscapes of Texas.
The castle’s interiors boast antique-style furnishings, chandeliers, gilded frames, and rich dark woods. The spacious living areas provide comfort for guests, with one traveler expressing their satisfaction by claiming that even with a group of 11 adults, they never felt cramped. The castle can accommodate up to 16 guests at a time, and there are various on-site amenities to keep everyone entertained. These include a pool table, a ping pong table, a vast DVD collection, a koi pond, and a gazebo with a charcoal grill.
Guests who have stayed at Falkenstein Castle have raved about their experiences. With a rating of 4.87 out of 5, one traveler described it as an amazing and unique place that comfortably accommodated their group. Another praised the well-equipped kitchen and the spacious living areas. The castle has also garnered attention for its impressive tower shower and beautifully manicured lawns.
The Youngs sourced the plans for Falkenstein Castle during a trip to Bavaria where they discovered the unfinished castle designed by King Ludwig II, who famously commissioned Neuschwanstein Castle. Intrigued by the never-built Falkenstein Castle, they obtained copies of the original artist renderings and sketches. This inspired them to embark on the monumental task of constructing their own version of the castle in Texas.
In addition to welcoming holidaymakers, Falkenstein Castle is a popular venue for wedding parties, complete with its own chapel on the property. Surrounded by 133 acres of state park, guests can also explore the hiking trails and enjoy the natural beauty of the area. The bustling city of Austin is just a 45-minute drive away.
Escape reality and enter a fairytale at Falkenstein Castle, a unique and enchanting destination that promises an unforgettable experience.
