SarahKristin sent this beautiful and fairytale-like Neuschwanstein Castle. What a magnificent view of the castle and its surrounding landscape!
I read on the net that Neuschwanstein Castle (1869-1886), in Bavaria, is one of the most visited castles in Germany. It was built by King Ludwig II of Bavaria who was a great admirer of Richard Wagner, the world-renowned composer. The castle was built in his honour and many rooms in the castle's interior were inspired by Wagner's characters. Neuschwanstein literally means “New Swan Castle” after “the Swan Knight”, one of Wagner’s characters.
The castle was also believed to have inspired Walt Disney to create Disneyland's Sleeping Beauty Castle in the Magic Kingdom.
TQ SarahKristin!!
