so about one of the most beautiful and mysterious castles of europe
NEUSHWANSTEIN CASTLE, GERMANY
Neuschwanstein Castle English: "New Swanstone Castle") is a 19th-century Romanesque
and in honour of Richard Wagner. Ludwig paid for the palace out of his personal fortune and by
means of extensive borrowing, rather than Bavarian public funds.
The castle was intended as a home for the king, until he died in 1886. It was open to the public
shortly after his death.Since then more than 61 million people have visited Neuschwanstein
Castle. More than 1.3 million people visit annually, with as many as 6,000 per day in the summer.
Inspiration for Disney Fairy Tales
Neuschwanstein Castle, with its white limestone façade and deep blue turrets, is rumored to be real-life inspiration for the castle in the Disney classic, Cinderella, released in 1950.The resemblance, after all, is striking.
But there’s another Disney castle that looks quite a bit like Neuschwanstein — and that’s Sleeping Beauty’s castle in Disneyland. Before Walt Disney began constructing his Californian theme park, he and his wife took a trip to Europe that included a stop at Neuschwanstein. Representatives of the park told The Orange County Register that Disney did have Ludwig II’s remarkable home in mind for Sleeping Beauty’s fairy tale palace.
Inside the Castle
Despite Ludwig’s grand plans, only 14 rooms are currently finished — and on
view for visitors. On the guided tour of Neuschwanstein Castle’s interior, you’ll
have access to the cave-like grotto, the king’s bedroom, and the Singer’s Hall,
among others.
Throne Room
Few rooms in Neuschwanstein capture Ludwig’s obsession with being king quite as well as the Throne Room. The two-story space captures the majesty of Byzantine churches, and is finished with a 13-foot-tall chandelier, a painted cupola, and elaborate floor mosaic. Ironically, there was never a throne in this space.
Exterior of the Castle
One of the highlights beyond the castle’s walls is Marienbrücke, the bridge which hangs over a waterfall and offers the most iconic views (and photo opportunities) of Neuschwanstein. After your tour, be sure to spend some time exploring the wooden trails around the castle, which provide countless opportunities to admire the surrounding Bavarian Alps.
When is the Best Time to Visit?
Whether flanked by snow-covered peaks or gleaming-white in the summer sun, there’s no bad time to visit Neuschwanstein Castle. But with some 6,000 tourists streaming through the ramparts every day, visitors may want to avoid the peak summer months of July and August.
To avoid long lines, get to the Ticketcenter Hohenschwangau very early (even before opening) or after 3:00 in the afternoon, when the crowds begin to thin. If possible, schedule your Neuschwanstein Castle tour on a weekend, or plan your visit in the off-season. Save for major holidays (Christmas, for example) the number of visits to Neuschwanstein drops significantly between November and April.
So what are you waiting Add this to your bucket list!!
