Castle Neuschwanstein

Castle Neuschwanstein, located in Bavaria, Germany, is a picturesque 19th-century castle commissioned by King Ludwig II. Built on a hilltop, it features fairy-tale architecture with towers and ornate interiors, inspired by medieval romanticism. Construction began in 1869 but was never completed, reflecting Ludwig's fascination with Wagnerian opera and German folklore. Today, Neuschwanstein is one of the most visited castles in Europe, renowned for its stunning views and enchanting appearance, which inspired Disney’s Sleeping Beauty Castle. It symbolizes the dreams and aspirations of its creator and is a significant cultural landmark.
