The Neuschwanstein Castle


When a person travels to Germany, they should go to the Neuschwanstein Castle in southwest Bavaria. Initially known as New Hohenschwangau Castle, it was the inspiration for the Sleeping Beauty castle at Disneyland Park. The foundation of the famous castle was laid on September 5th, 1869 and the theatrical set designer, Christian Jank, designed the castle. It is estimated that the great German attraction brings around 1.3 million people annually. In English, Neuschwanstein means “New Swan Stone” and was built for only one person, King Ludwig II. Overall, the Neuschwanstein Castle is a historical, beautiful, and breathtaking German castle.
