The German castle that inspired Frankenstein – BBC REEL

Seated high above the Rhine Valley in Germany is the 13th Century Castle Frankenstein. Some believe that the castle, and a scientist who lived there at the time, were the inspiration for Mary Shelley’s book "Frankenstein". Although Shelley never revealed the true inspirations for her book, this hasn’t stopped visitors flocking to the castle each year to immerse themselves in the legend.
