... Beautiful view of one of the most famous castles in the world🏰... an iconic architectural marvel... nestled away in the breathtaking views of the Bavarian Alps it is one of the top sights and attractions in Germany... it was constructed as a fantastic private summer retreat born straight from King Ludwig II imagination, not for defense but for pleasure... and in honour of composer Richard Wagner... however, the king never got to enjoy it; he mysteriously died by drowning in nearby Lake Starnberg... in addition to its strange origins, the castle is a wonder... there are turrets and even flush toilets and a form of central heating... approximately 1.4 million visitors travel to the fairy-tale palace each year... in the summer around 6,000 visitors a day stream through rooms that were intended for a single inhabitant😲... tours take crowds of visitors through the apartments and staterooms on the third and fourth floors... the second floor was never finished and houses a shop, a cafeteria, and a multimedia room... with great special "Georg II, Duke of Saxe-Meiningen" cancellation👍!! Big Thanks
Dustin!

Neuschwanstein Castle is a 19thC Romanesque Revival palace located in southwest Bavaria. King Ludwig II of Bavaria commissioned the castle in 1868, just two years after Austria and Bavaria were conquered by Prussia during the Austro-Prussian War (sometimes called the Seven Weeks’ War), effectively stripping Ludwig II of his powers.
He died in 1886, and the final towers weren’t completed until 1892. Seven weeks after the death of King Ludwig II in 1886, Neuschwanstein was opened to the public.
Neuschwanstein means “New Swan Stone”. The name of the castle derives from one of Wagner’s opera’s character, the Swan Knight.
