Schloss, Royal residence in Hohenschwangau, Germany
The castle rises from a forested hill, featuring multiple towers, ornate windows, and white limestone walls against the Bavarian Alps backdrop.
King Ludwig II commissioned the construction of Neuschwanstein Castle in 1869 as a retreat and tribute to Richard Wagner's musical compositions.
The interior rooms display elaborate murals depicting scenes from Germanic mythology, medieval legends, and Wagner's operatic works.
Visitors must reserve guided tours in advance at the ticket center in Hohenschwangau village, with entrance times scheduled throughout the day.
The castle's design combines modern engineering of the 1800s with medieval architectural elements, including electric bells and automatic flush systems.
