No, there are impressive castles in all the countries here. There are a large number of excellent castles in Denmark and the Czech Republic, for example. You might want to look up Egeskov Castle, Kronborg Castle, Frederiksborg castle, Prague Castle, Karlstejn Castle, the Castle in Cesky Krumlov, and many others.

The castles in Bavaria ( a lower part of Germany, touching Austria and the Cezech Republic ) are beautiful, very cheap, and most of the tours can be taken in English, or there will be an English pamphlet. There's an expecially beautiful castle in Passau. Ludwig of Bavaria built some impressive castles in Germany - such as Neushwanstein, which inspired the Disney Castle ( it's not much to look at inside ), Gardens in Munich, a replica of the Palace at Versailles out on an Island at Chimsee, and another I can't recall. As for the Czech Republic, Karlstejn Castle is beautful, in a small little town that sells really nifty stuff! There's a chapel at Karlstejn as well that's well-known in the Art History community but it has a waiting list to get into because of something to do with the room being damaged by people breathing. I wouldn't reccomend going to Prague Castle simply because it's so crowded. A lot of Asian tourists are there and a lot of different languages, rarely English, are being thrown around. In Austria, the castle in Salzburg is by far, the most beautiful I've been to. There's a back pathway you can take to the castle littered with old castle walls and gorgeous homes that look like mini-castles. From the castle itself, there's a great view of Salzburg ( a city famous for being where "The Sound of Music" was filmed ).

No. The countries you mention have some great castles, but you are missing out on some important ones. The UK and Ireland have some great castles, same goes for Czech Republic, Poland and the Scandinavian countries. Two places that I can really recommend seeing are The Tower of London and the Alhambra in Granada, Spain.
