Fairytale Regions - Neuschwanstein Castle, Germany



Neuschwanstein Castle is a Gothic Revival Castle located near Bavaria, Germany. It was built in 1869 by the King for Richard Wagner, a composer whose operas Tannhauser and Lohengrin made a lasting impression on the King. Pictured directly above in the Hall of Singers, part of the elaborate interior of the castle. Does the exterior look familiar? That's probably because it was the inspiration for Sleeping Beauty's Castle in Disneyland, California.
