1. The Murd*r Castle
The Muder Castle is the name given to the World’s Fair Hotel, a now destroyed building located about 3 miles west of the 1893 Chicago World Fair.
2. Bran Castle
Maybe you’re not familiar with Bran Castle, but I bet you know all about its most famous inhabitant – Count Dracula. Hidden deep in Romania’s Transylvanian Mountains, Bran Castle was originally built as a stronghold for the knights of the Teutonic Order.
3. Glamis Castle
Glamis Castle may not be a pop culture landmark like Dracula’s castle, but the dark legends surrounding it are just as terrifying.
4. Vyborg Castle
Vyborg Castle is a 13th-century fortress built at the easternmost point of the medieval Swedish Kingdom. From the 14th century all the way until World War II, the castle protected the Swedish border from the invaders from the east.
5. Predjama Castle
The Predjama Castle is a unique-looking castle carved into a rock above the town of Predjama, in south-central Slovenia. Many stories and legends surround the Predjama Castle and its most famous inhabitants, Erasmus of Predjama.
6. Warwick Castle
Warwick Castle was originally built by William the Conqueror in 1068. It is located on a bend of the River Avon, in the county town of Warwickshire, England. The Castle is known for its many secret rooms, including a bear pit which was only discovered in 2013.
7. Mont Sainte-Odile
In 2003, a French book collector called Stanislas Gosse stole over 1,000 ancient books from a locked private library in the Mont Sainte-Odile, a monastery located 2,500 feet up in the Vosges mountains in the French region of Alsace.
8. Welbeck Abbey
Welbeck Abbey is the site of a monastery belonging to the Premonstratensian order, located in the Dukeries in North Nottinghamshire, England. After the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the 16th century, it became a country house residence of the Dukes of Portland.
9. Versailles
The Palace of Versailles is one of the most famous historical monuments in the world and home to some of the greatest works of art ever created. But besides housing over 6,000 paintings and 3,000 sculptures, Versailles is also home to many hidden rooms.
10. Vatican City
Vatican City’s famous landmarks are full of secret rooms and passageways, but perhaps the most intriguing secret room is, surprisingly, a bathroom in the private papal apartments.
The bathroom is referred to as Stufetta della Bibbiena, which means the "small heated room of Cardinal Bibbiena." It originally served as the washing room for Cardinal Bibbiena, a 16th century Italian cardinal and comedy writer.
