Album Info:

Neuschwanstein Castle (German: Schloss Neuschwanstein) is a 19th-century Bavarian palace on a rugged hill near Hohenschwangau and Füssen in southwest Bavaria, Germany. The palace was commissioned by Ludwig II of Bavaria as a retreat and as an homage to Richard Wagner, the King's inspiring muse. Although public photography of the interior is not permitted, it is the most photographed building in Germany and is one of the country's most popular tourist destinations. Ludwig did not allow visitors to his castles, but after his death in 1886 the castle was opened to the public (in part due to the need to pay off the debts Ludwig incurred financing its construction). Since that time over 50 million people have visited the Neuschwanstein Castle. About 1.3 million people visit annually, with up to 6,000 per day in the summer. The palace has appeared in several movies, and was the inspiration for Sleeping Beauty Castle at both Disneyland Park and Hong Kong Disneyland. The palace is owned by the state of Bavaria, unlike nearby Hohenschwangau Castle, which is owned by the head of the house of Wittelsbach, currently Franz, Duke of Bavaria. The Free State of Bavaria has spent more than €14.5 million on Neuschwanstein's maintenance, renovation and visitor services since 1990.

  • Ah, you must have crossed the bridge! It was all I could do to creep out just far enough to snap a quick pic then escape back to the safety of solid rock. :) I was there in 2000 and we were allowed to take interior photos. Wish they had been digitals! Lovely photo. I would love to return!

  • I was hoping to see photos of the interior, because its so unusual. Some refer to parts of it as 'kitch'. Ludwig II never lived here though he managed to complete his fairy tale. This is a must visit. As you can see this is the rear view of the castle we are all more familiar with the other view. In order to get that spectacular picture Ludwig II built the castle right at the edge of the cliff. Your comments and the album is greatly appreciated, thank you.

  • This is a beutiful view I've never seen, thanks for another lovely angle of a castle I'd love to visit. I am told that King Ludwig never lived in that Castle. He drowned in the lake behind it, swimmin, before it was finished or just shortly after and before he moved in. What's more the death was questionable and mysterious because he was an absolutely excellent swimmer.
