Name

[edit]

Hi! Its name in German is Schloss Berg, which literally means Palace Berg (engl. hill or mountain). In publications of the Bavarian Administration of State-Owned Palaces, Gardens and Lakes it is called Berg Palace (here and here). The word castle is inappropriate, because the place is not a late Medival castle (Burg) which serves military/defensive purposes, but a residence of an early modern souvereign, built in the 17th century.

I don't believe palace would be an appropriate term for this small manor house, or hunting lodge, and the said publications apparently got it wrong. Castle is the translation of German Schloss which is indeed used for medieval as well as for more recent structures, no matter how big, while palace is clearly used for large official structures housing a whole royal court.

This is by definition not a castle but a palace. English. It is not correct to translate Schloss as castle in many cases. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 21:04, 17 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
