Castle Frankenstein, Odenwald, Germany |
This brooding castle may not have been inspiration for Mary Shelley’s classic novel, but its real history is almost as colorful. Built in 1250, one of its most famous inhabitants was Johann Konrad Dippel, whose studies led him to try to bring the dead back to life, a practice that involved exhuming corpses and experimenting on them. Dippel and his subjects are said to still roam the castle, which now lies in ruins.
