Schloss

Okay kiddo, so a schloss is a German word that means "castle" in English. It's a big, fancy building with big walls and towers and it usually has a lot of rooms inside.

A long time ago, these castles were built by kings and queens to protect them from bad guys who wanted to harm them. The castles also had guards who would protect the people inside.

Some of these castles are still around today and you can visit them like a museum to learn about what life was like back in the olden days. But nowadays, people don't build castles anymore because they are really expensive and there aren't any bad guys trying to harm kings and queens like there used to be.

So that's what a schloss is, it's like a fancy castle from a long time ago in Germany!
