The Neuschwanstein castle is located in Bavaria, near the town of Fussen. It was built by King Ludwig II of Bavaria.
The Neuschwanstein Castle looks like a fairytale castle. Neuschwanstein is a castle of the paradox, it was built in the 19th century in Bavaria, in a time when castles no longer had strategical and defensive purposes.
It is located in the Alps in Bavaria, Germany, in a magnificent landscape, on the top of a hill. Extremely beautiful landscape that surrounds it.
The construction of the Neuschwanstein castle began in 1869, and originally it was projected to last three years. But Ludwig II wanted the castle to be perfect, so the immense building was not finished even at Ludwig’s death in 1886 and it is not completely finished to this day.
Neuschwanstein Castle has a very beautiful inner garden surrounded by a walled courtyard. It even has an artificial cave. Neuschwanstein’s interior is as beautiful as its outside.
Ironically, there is no throne in the Throne Room, as Ludwig died before it was completely finished.
In contrast to the medieval castles it was modeled after, Neuschwanstein is equipped with running water throughout, including flush toilets and hot water in the kitchen and baths, and has a forced-air central heating system.
The dining room is serviced by an elevator from the kitchen three stories below. Louis even made sure the castle was connected to telephone lines, although at the time of its construction very few people had telephones.
Today, Neuschwanstein is the most visited castle in Germany, and one of the most popular tourist destination in the world. More than 1.3 million people visit annually.
