Neuschwanstein - Germany's most famous castle

Neuschwanstein Castle stands above Hohenschwangau near Füssen in the south-eastern Bavarian Allgäu. The building was erected from 1869 onwards for the Bavarian King Ludwig II as an idealised image of a knight's castle from the Middle Ages. The designs were by Christian Jank, and Eduard Riedel and Georg von Dollmann were responsible for the construction. The king only lived in the castle for a few months; he died before the complex was completed. Neuschwanstein was originally called Neue Burg Hohenschwangau (New Hohenschwangau Castle); it has borne its present name since 1886. The castle is owned by the Free State of Bavaria; it is looked after and managed by the Bavarian Administration of State Palaces, Gardens and Lakes.

Neuschwanstein is the most famous of Ludwig II's castles and one of the most famous sights in Germany. It is visited by about 1.5 million tourists every year. Often referred to as the "fairytale castle", Neuschwanstein is open to visitors almost all year round. The architecture and interior design are influenced by the romantic eclecticism of the 19th century; the castle is considered a major work of historicism.
