Schloss Neuschwanstein
Neuschwanstein Castle's was one of my first direct swaped postcard, sent by Hanna, from Germany.
(Received in May, 2012)
Neuschwanstein Castle (Schloss Neuschwanstein) is a 19th-century Romanesque Revival
palace on a rugged hill above the village of Hohenschwangau near Füssen in
southwest Bavaria, Germany. The palace was commissioned by Ludwig II of Bavaria
as a retreat and as a homage to Richard Wagner. Contrary to common
belief, Ludwig paid for the palace out of his personal fortune
and extensive borrowing, not with Bavarian public funds.
The palace was intended as a personal refuge for the reclusive king, but it was
opened to the paying public immediately
after his death in 1886. Since then over 60 million people have visited Neuschwanstein Castle. More than 1.3 million people visit annually, with up to 6,000 per day in the summer. The palace has
appeared prominently in several movies and was the inspiration for Disneyland's Sleeping Beauty Castle and later,
similar structures.
