    One of the beautiful miniatures in the Obrunn Gorge

      Schwanenburg (built before 1953, restored in 1961 and 2007)

        Is it the Schwanenburg, the landmark of the city of Kleve in North Rhine-Westphalia? Looks a little different. The long white tower could be the gooseneck. The castle is definitely beautifully designed 🤩👍

          Nice miniature models on the way. There is a lot to discover for young and old.

            The Schwanenburg is a fantasy building created in 1985, presumably with reference to Neuschwanstein Castle.

            In 2007, repairs were necessary.

            Due to increasing moisture damage to the roofs and walls, an almost complete rebuild was carried out in 2018, this time with concrete blocks and sanitary plastics. The spitting swans are fed via an approx. 300 m long water pipe from the slightly higher Wolfsburg pond.

                The Schwanenburg, the original is located in Kleve (North Rhine-Westphalia).
