On various threads and googling around I have read that some of the royals whose territories were in the former E. Germany got some compensation for the property the Communists had confiscated after WW II once Germany reunited.. And I know that some who were lucky enough to have had land on both sides of the East/West divide, i.e. the Hohenzollerns and Coburgs, always retained at least one castles. But have any of the German royals regained castles in the East? Do any of them even want to, given how difficult they are to maintain?

There is some discussion of restitution in the Royal House of Saxony thread, from post #48 on.

Anyone visited the lovely churburg castle in Südtirol?
Churburg, dates back to 1253. Successive generations of the Matsch and Trapp families added to the original fortress. Churburg is best known, however, for its impressive armory. Churburg holds over 50 suits of armor, making this collection the world's largest private armory.

I really enjoyed seeing this beautiful castle in 2001 when I visited south Tirol for my brother's wedding.
Took some great shots! Inside was real impressive as well.
