Neuschwanstein Castle is a castle of the XIX century that is situated near the town of Füssen - close to the Hohenschwangau Castle in southwest of Bavaria, near the Austrian border.

Neuschwanstein Castle from the point of view of any person is very well located; it rises above the dark gorge in the German Alps, the bottom of which flows a mountain river. It creates the illusion that the towers of this magical castle floating on a background of dark green trees.  Neuschwanstein, invented and built by King Ludwig II (1845-1886), looks in the cold season as the home of Dracula, and on a clear Sunny day as a dwelling of good fairies or Sleeping Beauty....

Ludwig was dreaming of such castle since childhood he grew very close-in the family estate of Schwangau. Ludwig was a connoisseur and lover of Germanic mythology and, apparently, from this came the worship of the mythical Swan Knight Lohengrin. Having inherited the Royal crown, Ludwig began construction of a fairytale castle, which in all respects from Ludwig’s views corresponds to the German ideals of chivalry. Initially on this rock there was a destroyed watchtower. This place will serve as a building site for Neuschwanstein, his dream of “House with a Swan", decided the new king. On September 5, 1869 in the base of the main building - the first stone was put.
