Where in the World is Gary? #182

This new series is a throwback to the game, “Where in the World is Carmen San Diego?” I will give a brief description of a place, including its latitude and longitude and several “interesting” facts about the location. I will also try to include a picture or two from my visit to the place. You, the reader, can then hazard a guess to answer the question posed in the game.

I will reveal the correct location on the following day. Hopefully, this type of post will encourage interaction and perhaps stimulate comments. Good Luck!

The answer to yesterday’s place (#181) is Jaffa, Israel

Where in the World is Gary?   #182

Latitude — 47° 33′ North

Longitude — 10° 45′ East

The king who built this place spent 17 years constructing it and lived in it for less than 6 months. It remains unfinished today although visitors are allowed to tour the finished parts. Nordic legends are featured on the walls. The best view of this place is from St Mary’s Bridge.

A sister castle, nearby, is where the king, who built this place, lived as a youngster.
