Neuschwanstein is known all over the world as a symbol of idealised romantic architecture and for the tragic story of its ambitious yet troubled owner Ludwig II.
Or as more commonly referred to as Disney's castle. Apparently, this castle is what inspired Sleeping Beauty's castle and thus the castle in all the theme parks.

Hohenschwangau castle is right at the bottom of the hill which was built by his father and was his childhood home. |
