Neuschwanstein Castle
...the inspiration for Walt Disney’s magical fairytale castle
In the midst of the German Alps, the magnificent towers of Neuschwanstein castle rise in all their majestic splendour – it is simply breathtaking!
It took 17 years and approx. 6,000,000 gold marks for the egocentric King Ludwig II to convert his fantasy into reality.
Since King Ludwig’s mysterious death in 1886, millions of people from all over the world have visited Schloss Neuschwanstein.
Set in one of the world’s most beautiful locations, the castle overlooks the idyllic 700 year old, medieval village of Fussen. The panoramic view from the Marienbruecke (the bridge high above the castle and gorge) is spectacular with unspoilt natural lakes and valleys stretching far into the distant horizon.
Although unfinished, the interior is hugely impressive. Neuschwanstein is designed in the authentic style of the old German knights’ castles and decorated in themes from Wagner’s operas. Concerts are held throughout the year in the splendid archaic surroundings of the vast Singers’ Hall.
Listen to the extraordinary stories of King Ludwig II as you enjoy the amazing views of Lake Alpen and Swansee. Loose yourself in tranquillity as you gaze at the grandeur of the wonderful Poellat George.
Experience an unforgettable day in the magic kingdom of the legendry King Ludwig II.
