    Wow this legendary thread is almost at an end.

    I’m not great at these but the architecture of those castles really reminds me of ones I’ve seen located in Spain (especially historically Moorish lands), but the actual landscape doesn’t look quite like most areas of southern Spain to me.
    Rep me and I'll rep you back.

    The Frontier wall half away from the castle reminds me on the frontierwall between Castle Sterrenberg and Castle Liebenstein ("feindlichen Brüder").

    It must be an a river, where wine grapes are growing (picture).

    Château de Saint-Ulrich, Château du Girsberg and Château du Haut-Ribeaupierre

    And before anyone asks, that was pretty much dumb luck. Just looking for a brick castle in France :/

    The wisdom of Bastet is truly unending. These are indeed the three castles of Ribeauvillé/Rappoltsweiler in Alsace.

    @Morty: There is no river actually close-by, unless you count the Rhine several kilometers away.

    I think it’s a washed out flag of Germany, not Andorra. Probably some embassy of Germany in Spain or vice versa.

    This looks like a small town/village but the EU flag flies a little too proudly for comfort (No, I am not a euro-skeptic....). Must be somewhere quite important or a little more trivial, perhaps the new Geodesic centre of the EU, Westerngrund?

    Ah, you're very close and I won't snatch it away now. Turns out there is a little town in Thuringia whose flag looks almost the same as that of Spain. Westerngrund is not correct, though: It used to be the geographical centre, but then came Brexit...

    Well done . I thought this one could prove difficult, because this place exists because of something that happened hundreds of miles away.
