Set among 113 acres of rolling countryside, this dramatic, 174,240-square-foot castle gives new meaning to the word romance. Arched windows and doors, 35-foot high ceilings and an ornate, hand-carved French altar hint at a time when chivalry was standard practice. A lily pond and butterfly garden grace the breathtaking grounds, ensconced within fortress walls.

This private residence is a dream destination for bridezilla's nuptials. But what is the name of this mystery castle and more importantly, where is it? Hint: it's not where Tom and Katie tied the knot.

Read on and find out where this mystery castle calls home.

We bet you didn't guess that this "mystery" castle is actually located in Burnet, Texas! It's named the Falkenstein castle and although it looks like something out of 17-century England, it was built in the 1990's. But don't let that ruin the ambiance, it's truly magical and exclusive -- the owners only rent out the castle for weddings a few times a year.
