Walhalla

I just love this combination of classical architecture in a natural setting. I'm not the only one; a million people visit annually.
The building is on the bank of the Danube river in the countryside.

Walhalla is a monument and museum to all ethnic Germans including some from Austria, Czech Republic, Netherlands, Switzerland and Russia. It includes over 200 artists, poets, musicians, scientists, mathematicians, philosophers, saints, inventors, architects, knights, kings, emperors and statesmen.

The building is an exact copy of the Parthenon. It is all marble, 413 feet long, 165 feet wide, 66 feet high, with its roof supported by 52 Doric columns.
