In the world of Fate there lies a heavily guarded castle in the mountains of Germany: Einzbern Castle. Within its walls are mysteries of a magical nature and the scheming head of the Einzbern family. The castle’s design is based on a real location, Château de Brissac, the former home of nobles of the French aristocracy.
Fate fans looking for an authentic night in Illya’s home can actually rent a room at Château de Brissac. One fan shared their experience staying at the chateau and noticed that the owners are very accommodating and even allowed them to take aerial and cosplay photographs.
イリヤ、アイリ、切嗣が住む冬木のアインツベルン城となるフランスのブリザック城。
一泊46000円で泊まったら豪華絢爛な部屋や庭園をほぼ独り占め。オーナーはめっちゃいい人で、頼めばコス撮影可能だそうで、本来禁止の空撮できました。

Visitors can take a tour of 10 euros or stay overnight for 390 euros.
TYPE-MOON not only referenced Château de Brissac for its Einzbern Castle design, it also borrowed elements from Germany’s Neuschwanstein Castle for the exterior and England’s Chatsworth House, Nostell Priory, and Haddon Hall for the interior.
