Neuschwanstein Castle - in the German Wonderland

Neuschwanstein Castle - The 19th-century Romanesque Revival building is one of the most known castles in the World. It was commissioned by Ludwig II of Bavaria who was probably mentally incompetent and wanted to escape to his own world. The king was murdered in a Bavarian lake not far from Munich before the castle had been completed.
  Now the castle is visited by over one million tourists a year what makes it the most often visted castle in Germany. Unfortunately taking photographs inside is forbidden there so I have only outside-looking photos.

Neuschwanstein Castle is situated in the Alps in the Southern Bavaria close to the German boder with Austria.

Hohenschwangau Castle

In search of beautiful european monuments we can't skip one of the most known castles in Germany and in the world such as Hohenschwangau Castle.

Hohenschwangau Castle - The castle was built on the remains of the fortress Schuanga by King Maximilian II of Bavaria, who was fascinated with rustic beautiful area. After the death of  the king, his son - Ludwig II -  lived there with his mother till the end when his new castle - Neuschwanstein was built.

The castle was built in the neogothic style.
