Reviews: Neuschwanstein Castle

General description: Neuschwanstein Castle

Schloss Neuschwanstein
One of the really, really big tourist attractions in Germany with 1.3 million visitors a year who come to marvel at this stunning castle on top of the cliffs.
 
Disney Castle
The castle in the Disney film Sleeping Beauty was based on Schloss Neuschwanstein, and you can see many similarities between this Bavarian castle and the world famous Disney Castle logo.
 
History of Schloss Neuschwanstein
It was built under Louis II in a neo-Romanesque style from 1869-86 to replace the ruin of Vorder-Hohenschwangau. The leitmotifs on the mural paintings inside are based on legends from the Middle Ages, as is the swan as the heraldic animal. The technical facilities in the royal living quarters (lifts, electric call systems, ...) were very modern and convenient architectural features.

You have to visit the royal castles at least once - King Ludwig nostalgia included.
