Neuschwanstein Castle
Built in the end of the 19th century, this castle was intended to reflect the true spirit of a medieval German castle. At least this is what King Ludwig II who the castle had been built for, wrote to famous German musician, Richard Wagner.
The Castle, whose name means the new castle, reminds you of a 13th-century Romanesque style building, both impressive and magnificent. With the best architects and artists of the time working on this building, it is no wonder why it looks like a true masterpiece.
Although he has moved some years before his death and lived here, it is so sad that the king could not see the castle completed. The progress was so slow and he has died before the construction finished.
Neuschwanstein Castle is one of the best highlights of the German Alpine Road trip. Every road tripper should spend some time observing it. The beauty of the castle is incomparable.
Stood majestic on top of the mountains, it gives visitors a brilliant view of the area, as well as pleasant weather.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”2416″ img_size=”800*500″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]
