More from Neuschwanstein Castle

Ludwig built a yellow castle across from his for his mother - the Bavarian royal family still lives there!

Neuschwanstein Castle (aka the inspiration for Cinderella's castle)

This castle was worked on for 17 years - never finished - and Ludwig lived there for less than 1/2 a year. It is breathtaking in a couple ways - very beautiful and on top of a very high hill!
