Neuschwanstein Castle:
Neuschwanstein Castle, which literally translates to “New Swan Stone” castle, is located in the Bavaria region of southeastern Germany. It was originally called New Hohenschwangau Castle, as it was meant to be a grand recreation of Hohenschwangau Castle, where Ludwig II spent his childhood.
Walt Disney’s inspiration:
Walt Disney, already a dreamer and storyteller during his lifetime, was in search of a unique setting that embodied the essence of fairy tales and magic. Neuschwanstein, with its crenelated towers, magnificent interiors and surrounding Alpine landscape, offered exactly what Disney was looking for.
