Germany has more castles than the United States has McDonald’s. This is the Eltz castle, located in Wiershem. It has been owned and occupied by the same family for 33 generations over 800 years

Germany has castle elves.

You leave your castle on the doorstep with a bowl of cream and in the morning your castle crenelation is repaired

Here to tell Finland has sauna elves.

You leave some water and a birchwood branch for them to maintain proper relationship.
